Do you have Banshee muted, perhaps? Could you check the volume icon at the top
right corner of Banshee, and also check in the Applications tab of "Sound
Preferences" from the Sound Menu to see if Banshee is present and if it is muted
there?

No Banshee is not muted. Volume is at max in Banshee and system volume. And yes Banshee is present in the Applications tab of "Sound preferences"

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Hmm, that's something. Could you try running "banshee --debug" and posting the terminal output here, please?

[Ahmed Toulan (thelinuxer)]

Here is the debug file.

This bug also affects me, today it's 18th April..the final release it's getting closer..

[Andres G. Aragoneses (knocte)]

Can the people affected by this bug disable Gapless Support in Preferences to see if that fixes the issue?

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Could you try disabling the gapless support in Edit->Preferences, and posting the log here when attempting to play a file?

[Chow Loong Jin (hyperair)]

Whoop de doo, looks like I missed by 10 seconds!

[Ahmed Toulan (thelinuxer)]

Disabled gapless support, still no luck

Here is the log file . I noticed line 82 [1 Debug 20:01:19.082] (libbanshee:player) Audiosink has volume: No

Could this be the source of the problem? Sorry I don't know much about this stuff.

[grizzo94 (nicolaramoso)]

I'll tried to deacrivate that function but for me too there's no luck..

[David Nielsen (davidnielsen-deactivatedaccount)]

Does this happen with the daily ppa?

https://live.gnome.org/Banshee/CommonQuestions/TestingOnUbuntu

The following post 2.0 commit which is found in the daily builds might help the situation.

Could you please try using the build from the daily PPA[1] and see if that
works? I have just heard from Bertrand that there are some volume related fixes
just after release.

I just added the daily repo and upgraded, still the same thing...

[Ahmed Toulan (thelinuxer)]

Also, no luck with the unstable repo.

Could you try enabling the replaygain option in the preferences, and then
posting the banshee --debug log here, please?

Using banshee from daily-build repo, thank you for going through this trouble :)
And no audio after changing this option.

Aha, this is what I was looking for.

[1 Debug 02:53:44.400] (libbanshee:player) scaled volume: 1.00 (ReplayGain) *
0.00 (User) = 0.00

So it was a volume issue after all, and one that's not been fixed upstream.

Eh? It's working fine? I didn't upload a fix though.. Could you check your
Banshee version? (apt-cache policy banshee in the terminal).

findings, please?

Hi,

This is a me too posting. "me too, audio is not working in Banshee"

For about 10 days the audio has often not worked in Banshee. Clicking the speaker icon, and sound preferences makes it look like the sound is playing when it is not.

The songs do play in Rhythmbox.

I don't have the technical skills to figure this out.
