I am experiencing the same issue on a machine I updated to 12.04 beta 2 using the alternate CD. It occurs both with Banshee and with Rhytmbox, and using flacs exclusively, not oggs or mp3s as in another bug report.
I'm wondering if this could be an issue due to upgrading instead of doing a clean install. Matthew, are your two machines running clean installs of 12.04 or were they upgraded? I'm toying with the idea of trying a purge of pulseaudio and reinstall or maybe a clean install of 12.04 to see if that makes a difference, but the latter would be a pretty big ordeal with all my files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/978604 Title: Banshee/Rhythmbox regularly stop playing audio when left on in the background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/978604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
