[FIXED] K3B CD ripping issue

[VoyagerMU]

I'm having a problem with K3B in Karmic. I have LAME installed and it is interfacing with K3B. My problem is that when I try to rip a CD in mp3 format to my computer, although the rip will be successful (it will complete, won't freeze, mp3 tags are correct), when I go to play it in Amarok, all of the tracks are only loud static. Sometimes I can hear faint traces of the song underneath the static. I searched but found nothing on this particular problem, and I'd love to know if anyone has any ideas on what to do.

An hardware information I can provide as necessary.

K3B worked fine in Jaunty, but when I upgraded to Karmic, this problem began.

Did you follow the guidance here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683

to get all the multimedia codecs? If not, you might want to do that, and then post back if it's still not working.

Re: K3B CD ripping issue

Tried to do that, and now it seems like my package list is all screwed up - inaccessible or missing. I started another thread about it, and once that's taken care of, I'll have to return to this topic.

Re: K3B CD ripping issue

All right, everything is good in the package department. However, it was trying to apply all of those codec upadates that triggered the screwups, so I won't try those again without more knowledge on how to do it and not trigger the same error.

On another note, I don't think that it's a codec issue. K3B worked just fine in 9.04. Since I upgraded to 9.10, the mp3s will rip, and they will show up tagged and everything once I rip them, but they will be nothing but static with occasional snippets of the songs heard underneath the static.

Also, when I open K3B, it seems to hang - It'll open and operate, but the cursor will continually spin, indicating there's still something going on. I'll research some threads and see if I can figure that out. In the meantime, any ideas are welcome.

Re: K3B CD ripping issue

Well...no idea what happened, but I just ripped a CD successfully. I unchecked the box that presents the option to invert the byte order if incoming data in the LAME control panel. Well...that takes care of that!
