I recently upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid and noticed this problem (although I'm using totem rather than rhythmbox).
I suspected pulseaudio but disabling this (by killing the process) made no difference. My MP3s are on an external USB drive so it's not a hard disk contention issue. What did make a difference was turning off compiz (System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects / Normal -> None) which I had turned on after upgrading. This solved the problem completely. I'm using a Dell D420 laptop with an Intel chip: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Possibly related to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/193318 -- Scrolling Firefox interrupts Rhythmbox audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
