Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 5:26 pm Post subject: Rhythmbox can't play [SOLVED] |
|
|
Whenever I try to play music from rhythmbox, it displays a little red sign with a minus sign in it (before it was an exclamation mark). I think I got around this issue before by configuring esd to use ALSA output or something. This was done in Gnome from Desktop -> Preferences -> Configure Sound (Just a guess) which is not found on my new Gentoo install.

Run rhythmbox from a console with and try to play a song. See if you can find any related errors in rb's console output. |

I think this is relevant
Code: |
** (rhythmbox:12521): WARNING **: No GConf default audio sink key and osssink doesn't work

Yeah, looks like it.
Run Code: | gstreamer-properties | and select another audio sink. If you can't select another audio sink, check your gstreamer and ALSA configuration. |

Which version of gnome are you running? I'm running 2.12.1, maybe the command was different in earlier versions...
gstreamer-protperties belongs to gnome-extra/gnome-media. |

Thank you, gnome-media was what I needed.
I am running Gnome 2.12.2, but I only emerged gnome-light. |

gstreamer-properties only lists Autodetect and Custom for the Output Sink. |

Maybe you need to emerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-alsa? |

Try to install:
gst-plugins-alsa
gst-plugins-esd
gst-plugins-oss
Are you using stable or testing? |

I install gst-plugin-oss and OSS works fine, but how would it if I did not compile OSS into my kernel?
Should I stil try esd? |

Because alsa support an OSS emulation that works better than OSS I am also using it because ALSA doesn´t works in gstreamer for me |

How lame that the emulation works while the actual thing does not. |
