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. -- rhythmbox freezing when trying to play an audio CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148241 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
