Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Sometimes, when rhythmbox opens, the system-wide volume level is completely muted. Also, rhythmbox likes to randomly close (not crash, since apport doesn't show up, except once) frequently.
Don't tell me to go back to Banshee, since it tries to overheat my computer with CPU-intensiveness.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report and help make Ubuntu better.
In order to fix the problem, we will need some more information about what is going wrong. I might deal with the volume issue and randomly closing separately.
For volume mute on rhythmbox startup, is it always muted, or only sometimes? If only sometimes, is there some sort of pattern (other applications open/not open, indicators, etc)? If it is repeatable, it is probably best to run a Strace to show the muting to gather more information about what is going wrong. Please follow the instructions at https:/
For the random closing symptom, this may be more difficult. As above, does it appear to be triggered by any sort of action (specific inputs, songs, store for example)? The Strace above will not be particularly useful for the crash, we will need to run a Backtrace to see what is causing the crash. This may be problematic depending on how difficult it is to make it crash, however it will be extremely helpful if you could run a Backtrace. Please follow the instructions at https:/
