Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I try to start Rythmbox, while simultaneously using Firefox, Rythmbox starts but does not play any music. In some cases it will not even start. This problem has occured for about two weeks. Before that it was no problem.

I use Firefox 3.04, Ubuntu 8.04 and Rythmbox 0.11.5.

thanks for the report, are you using pulseaudio? when you are using firefox are you reproducing a video or music with it? looks more like a sound server issue.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I do not use Pulseaudio. I've seen that the problem is present when I visit YouTube (which indicates a clash between flash and Rythmbox, somehow). Do you know if there's a known bug fix for this?

All the best,

that's a known bug, there is a ton of bugs about flash breaking sound
