I pretty much had the same problem.

The thing is I am able to reproduce it. All I have to do is just start playing with my mouse's scroll button placed upon the volume control...

Same exact problem as described above. Dell Latitude E6400, upgraded to 9.10 last night.

same problem here MacBook 5.1, upgraded to 9.10 today

For some reason no sounds play when the master volume slider is 3 clicks or below. So I was messing with that and then I tried moving the Rythmbox slider and thats when it crashed.

Same problem

Crashes when I change volume.

Are there any fixes for now? It's still on karmic...

no there's no fixes for it yet, patches are more than welcome though.

I have moved off 9.10 back to 9.04....works like a charm and no
crashes! Till 9.10 issues are sorted out I intend to continue with
9.04.

Yes, 9.04 was more stabile for me than 9.10, who crashed often. It was upgraded to 9.10 from 9.04 online (via Update Manager). I thought many times to go back to 9.04, but I made an experiment: I formated the disk with EXT4 and made a clean install of 9.10. Now it works terrific. No crashed for now.

This problem doesn't occur with EXT4. At least, for now.

Could this be the problem (even doesn't seem possible)?

I use DELL Inspiron laptop.

Nope, EXT4 has nothing to do with it. I'm using ext4 since the 9.04 and Rhythmbox wasn't crashing untill I upgraded to 9.10 via update-manger. And as I wrote in bug, which seems to be closed as duplicate, for me this happens on tracks with replay-gain info only.

same here, please fix it soon

I can't believe, How can that error get to Ubuntu?

Still in.. :-( Managed to catch it here -> http://www.mediafire.com/?ymmkmvmzyi0 :-(

An odd observation - I removed a seemingly rather buggy little package called ledcontrol, which allows for cosmetic uses for the keyboard LEDs, and a couple of virtual keyboard apps (klavier and something I don't recall) and this problem went away. The bug was consistently repeatable for me until I did this.

@Dirk I believe that's coincidence. I have never had ledcontrol and I still get crashes when adjusting the rhythmbox volume.

same here, crashed randomly when adjusting the rhythmbox volume.

same problem here, reproducible by changing the volume, also on Karmic

just discovered the bug, very annoying.
hope that it will be fixed.
thanks

Looks like it's not on all songs/files.
I had it on a 128 kbps .mp3 file from 5MB size.
I'm not sure if this helps a lot.
If it does, you can ask me to test more different filetypes/sizes/bitrates etc...
Detailed information added trough apport.

Only encountered during lowering down volume, not on turning it up till now...

Seems to do the same in Banshee. I'm suspecting it's something to do with either PulseAudio or some other common sound component?

Affects me too. It repros every time. As Mike Morraye said above, only when lowering the volume.

It started happening after I opened Rhythmbox without mounting the NTFS volume that has all my music, so RB started to remove library items it could not locate on disk, i quickly mounted the volume to stop it emptying the library. Rhythmbox froze, crashed then the volume weirdness started during subsequent sessions. Might be coincidence.

This is still happening after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04.

Yes, is impossible edit the tags....

I tried it with mp3 on ntfs,
mp3 on ext
with LastFM plugin,
The same crash every time.

Also affects Rhythmbox 0.12.8 in Ubuntu 10.10 (x86_64).

I see a similar issue in Lucid, up to date as of yesterday's updates.

In syslog I see this at the time of the crash. I included the pulseaudio ratelimit message just before, in case it is relevant.

Jul 28 12:28:51 consected-sv1-001 pulseaudio[1670]: ratelimit.c: 130 events suppressed

One thing I observed is this seems to happen more often if I change the volume soon after opening Rhythmbox and just after starting to play a track. Perhaps it doesn't like a change in volume at the same time a lot of other things are going on, such as trying to get a bunch of data streamed.

Phil

The bug is still present in Lucid. As Phil Ayres describes you can easily trigger the bug by changing the volume soon after switching to another track. I use my scroll wheel to change the volume if that matters.
