Ubuntu – Rhythmbox playing without sound

mp3rhythmbox

I have a clean 12.04 install.
Imported my mp3's (from a windows share) into Rhythmbox and although they do appear to be playing no sounds is to be heard. Playing a radio-stream works just fine. Playing the same MP3 in Spotify works fine too.

I have looked at the mixer settings (but as radio is playing that does not seem to be the issue). Cannot find a reason why there is no sound…

I encountered the same problem. Go to sound settings --> applications and check if Rhythmbox is not muted.
