Hi all -- "Desktop Joe" here -- same old problems -- sorry.
Ubuntu Feisty worked great -- could rip to FLAC (Sound Juicer) and
play CDs -- I was happy.
Somewhere, something changed and while I could play previously-ripped
music, when I played a CD, or ripped from a CD, I got chattering,
squeaking, clicking noise. I was reduced to ripping on CDex on XP,
and moving the FLAC files over. Ugh.
The sound is as if it is detecting the wrong media type -- and trying
to play a CD using the MP3 codec or something.
I tried and tried to troubleshoot it, and gave up, thinking "Gutsy
will give me a fresh start." It didn't. (Yes, I did a totally fresh
install. My /home is on a separate partition). (Yes, I used a brand
new user, so as not to inherit old config files -- still got the same
problem).
Now: I'm thinking that it's somewhere in gstreamer config. Sound
Juicer and Rhythmbox both use gstreamer.
I have begun testing gstreamer from the command-line, and have
confirmed that it is installed, and I can make it play a sine wave.
Not very far along yet.
Now I am looking for a gstreamer buddy who might be willing to "guide"
me through troubleshooting. I will do the work, I could use a pilot
as in "have you tried X?" If there is anyone who can guide me, please
pipe up. Thanks!
I don't want to use alternate apps. I want to find, and fix, this problem.
Craig
