Rhythmbox Playback Error Message

Asked by daShoe

My Rhythmbox is not working at all.. Everything that I try to open gives me the same error message: "Could not open audio device for playback." The tracks have been converted into .ogg files, I have checked all my sound and volume settings but I haven't found anything out of place. I downloaded all the tracks to my hard drive and tried to open them again.. Same error message. Even the pre-installed files and radio stations and channels have the same error.. What can I do to make it work?
