I'm running Jaunty as thin clients in my classroom and have the same issue. I've noticed since first boot that the boot sound is often corrupted. It has problems in different ways. Sometimes it will sound like popping or firecrackers in the background. Sometime the sound will cut off half way through the launch. Sometimes there will be no sound. I've never heard it play perfectly--the most common is the firecracker sound in the background.
I was just trying to play Rhythmbox and it worked fine for 5 seconds then froze. I force quite it. I can restart it, but there is no sound when a song plays. Also, when I go to Preferences/Sound and try and test one of the sound players, any one, they all give an error message such as this one: audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Failed to connect: Connection refused All error messages talk about 'Connection refused'. I've had this issue for months but it hasn't been a critical functionality but it would be great. -- Sound playing in LTSP clients using jaunty and gnome crash after a while using any player https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/495661 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
