Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2004 6:43 am Post subject: Rhythmbox: Could not create audio output element |
|
|
I just installed Gnome 2.6 last night and wanted to give rhythmbox a try. Overall I've liked Gnome but getting my sound to work seems to be an impossibility.
I can play oggs just fine with ogg123 and GAIM plays its event sounds as expected. However, every time I go to play an mp3 or ogg in rhythmbox I get the following error:
"Could not create audio output element; check your settings"
The really annoying thing is that rhythmbox does not exactly have a whole lot going for it in the preferences section. What do I have to change? I read some other threads and it seems that all of the necessary plugins are installed. Any idea what gives?
And, do I have to start up eSound or can Gnome function without it? _________________ Repeat after me! This world is made of love and peace! |

Code: | $ rhythmbox
INFO ( 4209: 0) Initializing GStreamer Core Library version 0.6.4
INFO ( 4209: 0) CPU features: (00000781) MMX SSE 3DNOW MMXEXT
INFO ( 4209: 0) registry: loaded global_registry in 0.105088 seconds
(/var/lib/cache/gstreamer-0.6/registry.xml)
DEBUG: gstgconf: error parsing pipeline osssink sync=false
No such element osssink
** (rhythmbox:4209): WARNING **: No GConf default audio sink key and osssink doesn't work |
Here's the error I get when I run it from the command line. The problem is... I seem to have to have gstreamer-0.8. Why is rhythmbox looking for 0.6? _________________ Repeat after me! This world is made of love and peace! |

A lot of applications still need gstreamer 0.6, but it is slotted so you can have 0.6 and 0.8 installed at the same time. So installing 0.6 might help if you don't have it. |

I exactly the same issue. What I done was this;
Rip out rhythmbox and all gstreamer ebuilds. (0.6 and 0.8 and all plugins)
emerge rhythmbox 0.6.1 and let it pull in gstreamer 0.6.4
emerge rhythmbox 0.6.8 leaving gstreamer at 0.6.4.
It now works. |

Mongrol: More or less, that's what I ended up doing last night and that did the trick. I used rhythmbox 0.6.8 because rhythmbox 0.6.1 kept crashing. But everything worked and I'm very, very pleased. _________________ Repeat after me! This world is made of love and peace! |

I have build gstreamer 0.8 (with alsa and oss plugin) and use the rhythmbox 0.7.1 from breakmygentoo, this seems to work (had some problems with conflicting eclasses though) _________________ In "old" Europe we already have a word for "pre-emptive strikes" mr Bush: its called "war" |

OK, i'll bite. I'm having the same problem here. How do I go about emerging an older version of gstreamer? I have 8.0 installed but apparently I also need 6.0 according to some of the above posts. When I do a
Code: | emerge gstreamer-0.6.0-r2 |
I get
Code: | Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in media-libs/gstreamer-0.6.0-r2 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (media-libs/gstreamer-0.6.0-r2) (try adding an '=')" |
I'm doing something wrong, I know it, but I've never tried to install an older package. _________________ *Fortitudo, aequitas, fidelitas.* |

Do just what it tells you:
Code: | emerge =gstreamer-0.6.0-r2 |

Done , but the same problem still persists. I ended up installing it using Xine instead. This works for a few times and then it just freezes up. I'm using stable flags, but I've never been able to get Rhythmbox to work on a consistent basis for me. I'm starting to wonder if its not my onboard nvidia sound. That would be odd though, because it works for everything else. _________________ *Fortitudo, aequitas, fidelitas.* |
