My Rhythmbox won't play (or even list) some of my .wav files. The ones I tried are taken from more recent CDs (one was from 2013). A screen message was displayed saying I need a "demuxer" to play those files but it was unable to find software for this. Is there a way to fix this or another Ubuntu audio player which can play .wav files from all CDs?
Here are the errors:
"Unable to play file. Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) demuxer is required to play the file, but is not installed. (Cancel/Find In Ubuntu Software)"
and:
"Unable to Find Requested Software"
The .wav files are on my PC hard drive but are directly from original retail purchased CDs. The pattern seems to be files taken from CDs I purchased in about the last four years, regardless of the original release date of the music. E.g. I can play the track "Broken Leg" by Bluejuice, which was released in 2009, but not the track "Survivor", by Destiny's Child, which was released in 2001 but which I purchased in 2019.
