Rhythmbox works fine, but sometimes certain tracks won't be played; sometimes when certain tracks are played all I hear is static/cracking sound with basically no sound at all.

If I restart rhythmbox and play the same song/s again, they will play fine (No static).

Any ideas?

    I had a similar problem on 9.10. I tried changing it to ALSA and OSS. But it didnt help. Now, I know you want to resolve the Rhythmbox problem, but as an aside, I recommend using a different player. I liked exaile, which has a very Amarok-ish flavour. sudo apt-get install exaile Sorry, couldn't be of more help. – theTuxRacer Jan 15 '11 at 0:35

I think it's crossfading.

See if it's turned on in your preferences, I was having the exact same problem.

If it is turned on, turn it off and then restart Rhythmbox.

It's distortion that's coming from the volume conrol in Rhythmbox. Turn down the volume in the application and you're good to go!
