Same problem here with ubuntu 13.04 and Rhythmbox 2.98. Shares folders are auto-mounted via fstab and cifs.
VLC reads fine the same distant files and folders. DAAP shares (inside RB) look to work - when they appear on the local network which is not always true, most of the time I have to manually connect to the distant DAAP share using IP adress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Debian: New Bug description: When playing music imported from a samba share mounted by gvfs-smb.
