I am using 11.04 and Banshee is the default, but I rather stick with Rhythmbox. I want to remove banshee from the sound menu I went into the extensions tab and unchecked all the sound menu support and even the d-bus extension. I restarted the computer but Banshee is still in the sound menu. Is there any other way to get it off?

I found out how to do it. In the extensions just only uncheck "Show Banshee in sound Menu" and that takes it off the sound menu.

I quote RSparker on Ubuntu Forums:

For the record, the entries of each individual player on the sound menu are stored in ~/.cache/indicators/sound/familiar-players-db.keyfile

You can either delete it and all the entries will be gone or selectively edit each entry.

There is no sound in there it only says messages. – DexterP17 Apr 27 '11 at 15:39
@DexterP17: Forgot that --my quote was from a 2010 post in Ubuntu Forums (sorry :/, maybe this changed in Natty). Try uninstalling Banshee Sound Menu extension (sudo apt-get purge banshee-extension-soundmenu. – Fitoschido Apr 27 '11 at 15:49
I did that now and, but it's still there. I don't get why it is. – DexterP17 Apr 27 '11 at 18:03
On the extentions tab make sure D-bus and sound menu are checked, then go back to the first tab in the preference and uncheck the sound menu option and that should take it off. – DexterP17 May 2 '11 at 17:23
I don't have ~/.cache/indicators/sound/familiar-players-db.keyfile. In the ~/.cache/indicators/ folder I only have a messages folder and a seen-db.keyfile.OLD file. Is there another place that the familiar-players-db.keyfile would be located? – theFisher86 Dec 22 '11 at 15:27
