Public bug reported: Playing commercial audio CDs worked fine for me in rhythmbox in the initial release of Ubuntu 12.04 (May 2012).
However sometime between then and 5th Jul 2012, they have stopped working. Currently I get either a few seconds of sound and then nothing, or the first few seconds of each track are very jerky and then rest of track plays ok. Movies / Audio from YouTube work fine in Firefox and Chromium. Commercial move DVDs play fine audio/visual in MoviePlayer Audio from .ogg files on my hard disk play fine in Rhythmbox. So some problem with reading audio from CDs. I have tried the suggestions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/PositionReporting none of which helped. This is related to various reported bugs, but I dont know enough to say for sure that they are duplicates. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2012727 sounds relevant Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 rhythmbox: Installed: 2.96-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 2.96-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 2.96-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: rhythmbox 2.96-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic-pae 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu8 Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 6 13:27:54 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/rhythmbox InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 (20120328) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: rhythmbox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise -- 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/1021707 Title: No sound or jerky sound when playing Audio CDs in rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1021707/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
