Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
I had been using Rhythmbox for several days on my NEW Compaq Presario 5110F computer (Linux ubuntu 904 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux) including listening to .mp3 and .ogg files on an external hard drive. Magnatune and Jamendo songs also played well also. I then tried to record from the built-in HDA NVidia ALC888 Analog (Reaktek) sound. I was having trouble getting Audacity to record while playing mp3s in Rhythmbox. Then next thing I knew Rhythmbox output ceased to play. I can still play local mp3s through Totem and Audacity. When I play song in Rhythmbox with the visualizer turned on, it appears as though everything is working, except that I can't hear anything, not through the speakers or headphones.
I tried reinstalling Rhythmbox. I Tried uninstalling Rhythmbox and installing Rhythmbox again. I tried the same things after uninstalling Audacity. Since other applications still work properly, I'd have to say that the problem in Rhythmbox.
One strange thing I just noticed is that I installed Kubuntu 9.10, but the latest automatic update from Ubunto seems to have installed a kernel for Ubuntu 9.04. Maybe there is a clue in there for you.
Rhythmbox version 0.12.5

Hi maxquig,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
The problem with the mp3 and ogg persist if you use another Player, like exaile or VLC?
Please check that.
