Playing audio cd - Rhythmbox seems to jump tracks - occassional put-put sound.

[George A]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 as the only installed OS - it was installed last week, and this is my first exposure to Linux.
Hardware: MB is Asus A7N8x-X-UAYZ, with onboard AC 97 Audio Controller. CPU is AMD Athelon XP 2000+ , 2GB RAM, 230 GB HDD. I have two installed DVD/RW's and a wireless internet connection. I've also installed MPlayer and a lot of related (??) files using the Synaptic Pakage Mgr.

When I insert an audio CD and choose Rhythmbox to play it, I expect the application to play the CD smoothly, without any extraneous sounds. When playing an Audio CD installed in my #2DVD drive, the music "skips" or misses a few beats, and there is an intermitant "put-put" sound".

I've experienced a number of other problems with Rhythmbox - it will not launch when I place the audio cd in #1DVD drive - it causes the desktop to go black, however, some applications , such as Games, can be launched in this condition, whereas, other views such as Places>Computer will not launch.

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/rhythmbox
NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia
Package: rhythmbox 0.12.0-0ubuntu4

 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
 SHELL=/bin/bash
SourcePackage: rhythmbox
Uname: Linux 2.6.28-17-generic i686

thanks for the report, could you run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt ; reproduce the issue and attach that resulting file to the report? do you get the same with totem?

Good morning Pedro. Unfortunately I'm a beginner and don't know exactly
what it is you're asking me to do. I think you are telling me to enter
coded instructions using Terminal. If this is correct, can you please
instruct me exactly what it is that I need to type in? I also don't know
which application "Totem" refers to - it is "difficult" being a beginner.

The Movie Player will not directly open / play the audio disk. When I insert
the audio disk (or right click the audio disk image on desk top) and select
open with Movie Player , I get a dialog box
 " An error occurred. Could not open location; you might not have
permission to open the file. " .

However, when I double click on a CD track using the Audio Disc - File
Browser , the Movie Player is launched (!!) and the music plays without any
problems. I would appreciate your help and guidance. Many thanks,

George

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

To get the log that was requested, do the following:
1. Close Rhythmbox
2. Open terminal and type rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt
3. Now try to reproduce the problem.
4. Go to Places > Home and you'll find a rhythmbox-debug.txt file, attach that to the bug.

Thank you.

Hello Nigel. Thank you for your clear instructions and notes. As requested, I have attached the file Rhythmbox-debug.txt . I appreciate your help in trying to help resolve this matter. Many thanks,

George A

@George, please could you check (if is possible of course) in latest release 0.12.8-0ubuntu6 included in Ubuntu Lucid if this issue is still affecting you? Thanks!

[George A (gka1999)]

Hello Kamus:
Thank you for your inquiry. Recently I deleted 9.04 and made a "clean
installation" of Lucid 10.04 ( I'm trying to become familiar with Lucid, and
to get Totem to play DVD's) . My PC and hardware are unchanged . When
playing an audio CD ( using Rhythmbox) the sound "skips / jumps"
occasionally. I also have a "clean install" of 8.04 on a separate
removable HDD. What is interesting is that when I play the same CD (via
Rhythmbox) using 8.04, the sound is OK and does not "skip" or distort !

I hope this is the info you wanted. Regards, George A
