rhythmbox freezing when trying to play an audio CD

[Damiano Dallatana]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I am using Rhythmbox 0.11.2 from Ubuntu gutsy.
Whenever I try to open a CD from one of my drives (a DVD reader and a DVD writer) from within rhythmbox, the player freezes and I have to terminate it. I can play correctly every CD i want from Sound Juicer. I also tried with and without the 'random', but it does not change.
The apport report should include data from the freeze, as I selected the "send a bug report" immediately before freezing rhythmbox. However, I will attach the last lines of the 'rhythmbox -d' log (where there is reference to /media/hdc/).

Steps to reproduce:
1. insert an audio CD
2. open Rhythmbox
3. try to make rhythmbox play the cd by clicking twice on a cd track or on the cd name

What happens:
nothing, rhytmbox freezes

What should happen: rhythmbox should play the cd correctly

I kind of ran into this same problem. I attempted to play an audio CD in Rhythmbox and it froze. However I put the CD in my 2nd CD drive and it didn't freeze. It played as expected.

[Harry Parker (gpm)]

I have the same problem . Ubuntu 9.04, Rhythmbox 0.12.0. Insert a CD, Rhythmbox recognises the CD, lists the tracks. When trying to play a track product freezes and requires a Force Quit.

 I am also having problems with Rhythmbox and playing audio CD's. I am new to Linux and have a stand-alone installation of Ubuntu 9.04 and Rhythmbox 0.12.0. My PC has two DVD-RW drives , one of which has an audio cable connected to the Motherboad. When an audio CD is inserted in #1 DVD (has an audio cable connection to MB) it is not recognized by Rhythm box and my desk top goes black, however, the system does not seem to crash, since I am able to launch some applications ( games), but not others. To restore my desktop color to Brown I re-start Ubuntu (I don't know if there is some other way).

Under normal operation, looking at the HDD via Places>Computer, and subsequently inserting an audio CD in my #2 DVD drive, the CD is recognized (tracks & numbers are displayed) - double clicking on a .wav file launches an application (not Rhythmbox) that plays the CD in a separate window. Rhythmbox does not launch , although I've selected Home Folder>Edit>Preferences>Media to "Play Audio CD" when a CD is inserted.

I would be obliged for any help (beginner-level) to resolve issues noted above.

Is this still a problem with Rhythmbox 2.90.2, which is shipped by default in 12.04?

[Mani Panat (mjpanat)]

Ghosh no, after using ubuntu 11.10, never had any problems.
thanks,
Mani
