Have you tried getting the property back from the audioamplify element
to make sure that it's set correctly?

I was going to say make sure you link all your elements together, but
since you said you used gst_parse, I don't think that could be an
issue. My guess (without seeing your code) is that the audioamplify
element is getting its amplification property set to 0, which would
probably be equivalent to silencing the stream (though I'm not sure
because I'm not very familiar with that element; I normally use
`volume').

Without having your actual code (or a trivial test program that
exhibits the same behavior), it's impossible to tell what is wrong.
