Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it doesn't describe the bug well. If you have time and can still reproduce the bug, please read http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bug-HOWTO.html and add a more useful description to this bug.
Most likely this is one of these two things: a) you don't have the right kernel modules / sound drivers (alsa) loaded for your sound card, or there's a problem with the sound drivers (your distro should be able to help you with this) b) you're missing some essential GStreamer packages that should have been installed automatically (gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good). This is quite unlikely, but would also be a problem with your distro, and your distro's support forums should be able to help you with that.
