I have this same error ("Could not get/set settings from/on resource"). System sounds play, but CDs and sample video and audio files do not.
I use Dapper and have gstreamer-0.10-alsa. Maybe I need to change the setting for the sound card. The Device Manager says I have an "Aureal Semiconductor Vortex 2," but I really have a Yamaha 724. But I do not know how to change the driver in Ubuntu. > Reassigning to alsa-lib and ubuntu-audio team, maybe they have an idea on it. Well? It's been more than two months. Have those teams any thoughts? -- Could not get/set settings from/on resource. https://launchpad.net/bugs/52396 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
