Rhythmbox plays MP3 only as root
I have done a minimal install of Ubuntu 18.04. I have added restricted codecs and Rhythmbox. Unfortunately, Rhythmbox will only play MP3's as root. Internet streams works fine as a user. What permissions need to be changed? Is it an App Armor issue? I've tried adding user to audio and pulse-access groups and still it won't work.
