First find out where the problem is. If you can play a wave file in Amarok, I highly doubt that the problem is with alsa. Do not start jackd. Instead just do aplay name_of.wav do you get the system playing the wave file. If you do alsamixer, where are the mixer settings for the playback? In fact amarok uses alsa, so your alsa is fine I believe. There is no reason to change alsa. However your setup of jack may be borked.
