OK back again.... I did all the updates released 22 april on a system that is still a default - no new apps added (apart from Bluefish, which should have no impact on a sound app in any case), and only the recommended codecs as suggested by the system to play my files (Gstreamers) .
I trashed all mp3 files in my music folder, leaving only ogg files, restarted Rhythmbox and within 10 minutes Rhythmbox had frozen, once again, all sound is locked and cannot play movie files. All other apps seem unaffected however. Just for the record, I usually use Amarok, or before that xmms, and have never experienced this constant freeze before. The mp3 files and ogg files are ones that I listen to often, whatever system I use. What makes it even more frustrating is the otherwise total stability of the rest of my applications ! Thanks for your time and hard work :) -- rhythmbox freezes after playing for an hour or more and locks all sound until reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219848 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
