I can use amarok (and all my multimedia players) in aurox 10.1 only with arts engine. When i choose another engine I receive message device or resource busy. HELP!!!!

Looks like you are running arts and this locks your sound device. In KDE control center you can either deactivate arts at all or tell it when to release the sound device so that non-arts application can get it.

You might still have some issues with soundcard locking. This happens to simple soundcards. One solution is to use arts for all your apps, another solution is use ALSA and an ALSA system called dmix. Or get a new sound card.

And when you cannot type special characters (like the euro symbol) on your keyboard, get a new one. (this is meant to be ironic, but actually some years ago someone adviced this to a friend of mine).
