This bug appears on upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic (and I believe I saw Gentoo have the issue as well…so this is probably a deeper issue…a patch was released late 2009 for this issue). Instead of removing the directories, open gconf-editor (Alt-F2) navigate to /system/gstreamer/0.10/default and add a key (string): musicaudiosink = autoaudiosink. gconf editing is live, so be careful, this change will take affect immediately and solve the mp3 issue in Rhythmbox and asst.

Unfortunately this fix has not worked for me. I’m currently running an upgrade distribution of 9.10 Ubuntu on a Dell Mini 9 which came with Ubuntu 8.04. Have tried everything you guys suggested in the forum. Any more suggestions, greatly appreciated!

Thanks for this work around. Simple. I had to reboot to get the sound working.

Who woulda thunk it?? Agree: an odd bug. Perhaps Ubuntu will provide this fix as a “patch”.

Wow, that’s really odd. Definitely a bug there. Hopefully they will fix in the next rhythmbox version
