Amarok on Ubuntu 9.10 rapidly skipping tracks

2

Subject really says it all. When I try to click on any track, Amarok rapidly moves through the playlist, pulling external information (wikipedia etc) for each song, but not playing it. I feel like it might be a problem with my sound card or driver or something, but all other media players work fine. I can play sounds from within Amarok when I test different sound devices (they all play). I removed the program and re-installed it and still no luck. Any ideas?

First thing I would do is launch Amarok from the command prompt and see if it is outputting any error messages when it skips the tracks. – Sam – 2010-03-12T23:15:14.103

No error message when it skips tracks – danwoods – 2010-03-12T23:20:42.857

Sounds to me like the codecs are missing.

Would I need to install a codec especially for amarok? VLC plays everything fine, along with Rhythm Box, Banshee, and Listen – danwoods – 2010-03-12T23:27:09.347

@Bobby: I would +1 but I just used my last vote on the question itself :-) I'm 99% sure you're right though. – Josh – 2010-03-19T03:12:38.570
