Have you enabled "headphone" by double clicking the volume icon and going to switch tab.

If you can't find "headphone" option you can add it by clicking "preferences" just below it.

Why not check your repositories to see if the software is there first. For example if you are using Ubuntu check synaptic to see if Amarok is in there which it should be.

yes u r right......i can install amarok or anything else using synaptic........i had installed vlc using that...

but acutally....i want to learn how to install apps by compiling or------ as i m in the learning stage.
Also, its my need........as all apps r not available in package manager........one should know other options too.......!! And i need to install one s/w named Wapua.........which is a wap browser for pc for wml and .mobi wap sites.........and its not available in synaptic....!!

Recify me if i m wrong somewhere........

Heres an example of what I did back on Ubuntu 7.10. Please note that I'm not sure if the process is still the same in 8.10 or 9.04 you could check with folks who use it here or come to IRC and check with d1g1t or some of the folks in the #Ubuntu channel. Also Dark-Star has two guides posted somewhere around here also if you check his blog hes got it on there as well.

Some problems arose again.......:-(
First, a serious problem i think, this is what i got to see when sometimes i open other partitions(media) and check for "authorization remeber" in ubuntu :
*preview.shareapic.net/preview5/016925654.jpg

although all goes well after rebooting.......:shock:

Secondly, hope this is not so serious like above (might be silly):oops: :
from yesterday, by default firefox opens up with a fullscreen window and i have to manually switch it to normal mode.:shock:

Thirdly, do u use Amarok ??:?: If yes how do u queue up songs from the explorer, i mean can't i just right click and queue a song like we do in windows with WMP ??

Try:
(1) Create a mount pt:
Code: 
sudo mkdir /media/Other

(2) Then mount:
Code: 
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda7 /media/Other -o force

As for Firefox try renaming (and thus resetting the settings, you will lose bookmarks, extensions though)
Go to Home Folder(Nautilus). Press Ctrl + H. You'll see hidden files. Rename .mozilla to .mozilla.bak. And pree Ctrl + H to hide the hidden files again. Then run Firefox you'll get Firefox in fresh state.
(to revert do that again, delete the new .mozilla, and rename the old .mozilla.bak to .mozilla)
As for Amarok. Amarok itself has an "explorer" from where you can enqueue. Look at the left pane.

That message showed an improper shutdown. Try shutting down Windows properly and then the ntfs partitions will mount correctly. Do a chkdsk on Windows partition also.

You can also queue-up the songs or play in an order by using shortcut key : ctrl + D

You can backup bookmark.html file in .mozilla folder and start refresh with FF.

Strange kind of mount point :)
You have to change '\' with '/' in the bold lines highlighted.
Further i would suggest to edit fstab file like this. You will need root access. Open a Terminal and enter
Code: 
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
This will open the file in Gedit where you can edit and dont gorget to save it.

Click to expand...
First create 3 mount pointsin /media folder. Open a Terminal/Konsole and cd to /media folder and enter
Code: 
sudo mkdir windowapps moviesgames hometheatre
. Give your password. This will create the desired mount points where your 3 ntfs partitions will be mounted(you can access). Now enter
Code: 
sudo mount -a
