1) play the files with another media program aqualung plays the files fine
2) play other files (standard mp3s or other filetype) other flac files (44.1/48kHz) work fine 3) switch the phonon backend gstreamer<->xine i'm using the xine backend, since the gstreamer backend doesn't play back anything on my machine. xine/44kHz: good playback xine/96kHz: noisy playback gstreamer/anything: no playback (i don't want to start debugging gstreamer) 4) Also, what version of Ubuntu are you running?
