Update: My previous post is almost surely a non-issue. I have solved my loss of audio through samba share and traced the issue to the following.
The board I am using on the server end has a Realtek R8168/R81111 ethernet device. Since the default driver for Ubuntu is for R8169 hardware, when a system upgrade is done it can result in the R8168 driver being replaced. I had upgrade my system from 32-bit to 64-bit. When this was done the R8168 driver was no longer present; only the R8169 is present after the new install. I fixed this issue by installing the R8168 network driver. Apparently the R8169 driver frequently disconnects and that is what causes the issue with "streaming audio" through the samba share. I hope this helps others! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977866 Title: no sound while playing music from a gvfs mounted samba share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/977866/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
