I, too, had this problem on my HP 2133 with a Via Chrome driver. I can confirm that fiddling with the visualizations did indeed allow me to play MP3s.
Since I don't like visualizations anyway, I found that just disabling them with the gconf editor worked. Here's what I changed: 1) Open terminal 2) Run gconf-editor 3) Go to /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/visualizer/ 4) Unchecked Active, checked hidden 5) Close gconf-editor Now Rhythmbox plays MP3s, no errors. Very odd bug, very odd workaround. Who'd have thought that enabling visualizations (not even using them) would affect MP3 playback. -- Rhythmbox failed to create output image buffer 60x60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236201 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
