I just happened on the same bug, too. Any progress on it? I have many .m4a files that I created in an earlier version of Ubuntu, and they won't play in rhythmbox, but they will play in amarok. -- Severe sound problem playing some aac files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575798 You received thi

I have the same issue...However, If I use amarok, it plays the m4a files properly. However, any Gnome based media player refuses to play the m4a files without skipping and high pitched noise. It is soo annoying, as all my music is in this format!! -- Severe sound problem playing some aac files h

While I forgot that the lucid mplayer uses the system ffmpeg libs - still don't see the connection to the faad2 package in lucid (libfaad2 It's my understanding that mplayer uses it's own internal faad decoder even in it's present lucid build. This can be seen by removing libfaad2 (no faad2 lib

I can confirm the observation in comment #7. This means that the problem is not in ffmpeg, since both ffplay and mplayer when using ffaac play back that file properly. However when using mplayer with libfaad, playback is distorted. Therefore, I'm reassigning to the correct package. The decoding l

I believe the issue here is files encoded with the Main aac profile will not decode properly in lucid, though they will in karmic and earlier. The same behavior is seen with a compiled mplayer - so that seems to remove the repo libfaad2 as cause. -- Severe sound problem playing some aac files

I don't know what to put it against, it happens in most audio players including Rhythmbox, Totem and VLC, It doesn't happen with XBMC or Aqualung. Here's a sample file which is affected http://drop.io/lwx4fgt , this file plays fine in previous versions of Ubuntu, and in other OS's, but won't play i
