Description of problem: I can hear gnome sounds, I can hear flash sounds, but when I try to play anything in totem or rythmbox, I can hear only silence. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): latest from Fedora 9. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a browser, type youtube.com, play any flash video with audio 2. open totem / rythmbox and select anything to play 3. open pulse audio volume control Actual results: I can hear audio from flash video (and it's visible on the pulse audio volume control), but I rythmbox plays music silently - it does not even appear on the pulse audio volume control. I can even open Sounds applet and test sounds from here (can hear the sound). Expected results: Rythmbox and Totem to play audio :) Additional info: See screenshot attached.
Created attachment 307305 [details] Pulse audio plays flash audio, but not rythmbox audio.
I can confirm that this bug exist on x86_64 too. Sound work just fine if a use "gst-launch filesrc location=someflacfile.flac ! flacdec ! pulsesink", and GNOME system sounds work just fine too. If I open Rhythmbox (or Totem) and start playing, everything appear to be ok, but the application does not show up in the Pulseaudio Volume Control and no sound is coming out of the speaker.

Could you please try running gstreamer-properties, and setting the default output to "autodetect"?
I got hit by this issue when I updated. Going into gnome-sound-properties and putting back the output to "Autodetect" fixed the issue (some were set to "custom", for some reason). gstreamer-properties did nothing for me, for some reason.
I can confirm that #5 work. I tried gstreamer-properties, but non of the available options worked.
the bug is assigned to pulseaudio, but no new pulseaudio flew in lately. maybe it is a bug in gstreamer? or gstreamer plugins deployed by livna? does playing ogg work?
gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.8-3.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9
gstreamer-plugins-good-10.8-3.fc9 doesn't seem to fix the problem for me. downgrading to 10.7 works fine. fyi: upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532295
(In reply to comment #9) > gstreamer-plugins-good-10.8-3.fc9 doesn't seem to fix the problem for me. > downgrading to 10.7 works fine. Should do, I applied the work around, and verified that the output of the configure scripts was correct: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=640384&name=build.log configure: Using autoaudiosink as default audio sink configure: Using alsasrc as default audio source configure: Using autovideosink as default video sink configure: Using v4lsrc as default video source configure: Using goom as default visualizer
i can repeat the failure at will. if you tell me what to do (ie. is there a way to turn on debugging in rhythmbox with some env. var?) i can produce any logs you want.
Suggestion #4 didn't work, but #5 did work, now I can play music using Totem and Rhythmbox, thanks guys!

As Remy mentioned, and Marek confirmed, the right tool to use is gnome-sound-properties, not gstreamer-properties.
are you all saying that any user that ran against the buggy version once upon a time (and now have the new version from testing) now needs to run gnome-sound-properties, or that using it is a workaround while keeping the buggy version installed, but that it should be unnecessary on the newer fixed version 10.8-3?

The update didn't solve the problem for me until I changed the Sound Playback settings to Autodetect in gnome-sound-properties. Now sound plays fine for me in both rhythmbox (original reporter: please take care with spelling for the sake of search) and totem.

Fixed in -5: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=643626 Enjoy
works for me. thanks. by the way, the 'updates' page (bodhi) which used to point to 10.8-3 now points to 10.8-5, and it inherited the comments and karma of that old broken release. that's a bit buggered, but at least gstreamer works!
