I recently upgraded to Gutsy on my amd64, and found that neither
rhythmbox nor totem could produce any sound. I initially thought the
problem lay in Gstreamer, but found that gst-launch would play my files
(mostly mp3s) without problems. Sound from all other sources seems to
work fine as well (vlc, xine, amarok... )
In Rhythmbox, when I double click on a song in my library, the Artist and Album
indicators show that the file has been read (or maybe just library info) but
the song progress indicator stays at the left side, and the song has an Icon
next to it that indicates 'pause'. No errors are printed. If i right click on
the song in the library at this point I get the usual pop-up with an error icon
and the text "Could not establish connection to sound server" at the bottom of
the window. If I press the "Play" button, the following errors are printed:
-----
(rhythmbox:17697): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_ref: assertion `entry
!= NULL' failed
(rhythmbox:17697): RhythmDB-CRITICAL **: rhythmdb_entry_get_string: assertion
`entry != NULL' failed
------
after this, the icon beside the song in the library turns to a Red and White
"do not enter" icon. Right clicking on the song produces the regular popup, but
with the same icon and the following text: "Internal GStreamer Error: state
change failed"
Rhythmbox has all plugins (including visualizations) disabled.
In totem, videos play fine, but no sound is produced, and the volume button is
disabled. By turning the visualization to Monoscope I can confirm that the
audio is being decoded correctly, but simply not being played.
no errors are printed.
I have removed and reinstalled the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package
(as well as *-good and *-bad)
