GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 554313
Audio fails: "GStreamer resource error"
Last modified: 2008-10-16 07:49:30 UTC
Please describe the problem: After upgrading to Intrepid, audio playback via Banshee 1.2.1 fails silently (no audio, icon appears next to track played). When run from a terminal, the following error is issued: "[Error 18:13:39.734] GStreamer resource error: Settings" The error appears to be unassociated with Banshee specifically, however, because playback also fails in Rhythmbox (though without triggering the same - or any, for that matter - warning. Audio playback is only possible from VLC, which I believe does not use GStreamer as a backend. Installed GStreamer version looks to be 0.10. Have tried the fix recommended below [1]; this had no effect. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Banshee (or Rhythmbox, etc) 2. Play track from library Actual results: No sound produced, icon appears next to track, terminal returns error: [Error 18:13:39.734] GStreamer resource error: Settings Expected results: Sound to be played Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: aplay and paplay both work on the same hardware, as does VLC. gstreamer-properties is currently set to PulseAudio Sound Server. Previously, it was set to ALSA. Neither allows Banshee or Rhythmbox to work.
After the latest round of updates to Intrepid, this bug has been resolved and Banshee now functions appropriately.
