First, what phonon backend are you using? See Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback > Configure Phonon: Backend tab. Usually a choice between Xine, VLC, and Gstreamer. All available in packages, and all with various strengths and weaknesses. While Xine usually works best for me, it is unmaintained, and the future is VLC and Gstreamer. Next, you might try running Amarok from the console: amarok -d --nofork and watch the output when the sound shuts down. Is Pulseaudio giving up, if you have PA installed? Or is the backend or phonon itself reporting a problem?
