Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I play a FLAC file with ReplayGain information in Rhythmbox with the ReplayGain feature enabled (gconf /apps/rhythmbox/use_replaygain = true), the sound volume goes down to zero in the first second.

I can see the slider for rhythmbox go down in pavucontrol. If I slide the volume up again, I can hear sound for a short time every time I move the slider a pixel.

Turning the ReplayGain feature off (using gconf-editor) makes the volume slider behave normally again (immediately!). It stays at 0 until you move it though.

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Simon, are you on amd64 as well? I'm still seeing the problem (enable gconf flag, go to next song -> volume goes down in the way described in the bug report)

I can confirm this. And yeah, this happens also with mp3 files. I'm running 32-bit 9.10 with all updates installed.

I didn't. In fact I don't even know how to report bug to Gnome's bugzilla. If there is somebody who has account to report bugs to Gnome, please report this.

The old replaygain code has been removed, so this bug is obsolete.

 Therefore I am closing this bug.
