Problem: Rhythmbox play no sound after changing output device. Ubuntu 12.04, i386, Rhythmbox 2.96.



How i get this:



 - I have connected to my laptop a bluetooth headset.
- In sound preferences I changed output device from notebook speakers to connected headset.

- Turned on rhythmbox to listen to music.
- Gave my headset to my friend without turning off.
- Laptop turned off.
- Laptop turned on.
- I tried to listen to music with rhythmbox.


Rhythmbox behavior is as usual, but applet-indicator on drop-down sound menu freeze when i click to play If to start rhythmbox from dash it works but no sound is playing. Other players works fine. I tried purge
rhythmbox, gstreamer* and install it again, but no luck. If to login
in other user - rhythmbox works fine.



I think it is something with pulseaudio, but i don't know what to do...

You may have ended up with erroneous user settings for Pulse Audio. To restore default settings we may delete its hidden configuration directory in ~/.pulse (or ~/.config/pulse, depending on release version). This directory will be recreated to default settings after restarting pulseaudio.



mv ~/.pulse/ ~/.pulse.bak/  ## removes erroneous user audio settings
pulseaudio -k ## restarts the sound server


If this does not resolve your issue please try with additional steps I gave in my answer to the following question:
