Check that you have ALSA and PulseAudio as options under Output.
Check that your soundcard is listed under device.
Try specifically selecting ALSA or PulseAudio and the device.
Working perfectly now, thank you enormously 
@otikscypi said in GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in:
@catch22 I had the same error just a second ago.
Fixed it by entering strawberry settings and reselecting an output device via dropdown. Hopefully this will help you as well.
Yes it certainly did, super thanks!

@buffalo said in GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in:
@catch22: Maybe an update to latest version 1.0.3 will help.
I tried a .deb file with the latest version but had the same thing happening.
Then tried the ppa and it persists; although I'm not sure now which one is actually starting, the deb or ppa 
@catch22 Forgot to mention version is 0.9.3

I've searched for solutions inside the forum and outside as well, but none of the suggestions worked.
Deleting the cache of gstreamer and rebooting does not help; the problem persists with all file types - Strawberry does not play anything anymore all of a sudden.

@jonas I was looking in the wrong place - settings in Linux Mint
Now I see it is of course within Strawberry; I have 10 options and have no clue which one to pick.
The default was as you see in my attached screenshot.
Another difference with yours is: ALSA plugin hw nore plughw is ticked.
@jonas that looks like very good stuff to know - will investigate it, thanks.
Still, no "Backend" in my settings.
BTW I've never had sound problems with any other player on this machine; mocp, vlc, rhythmbox, audacity..
@jonas I'm on Mint 19.3 - there's nothing called Backend.

You need to install it too using apt or Synaptic.apt install strawberryWorking now, thanks!
But not good.. although it does show as version 09.2, immediately when clicking a song to play, Strawberry freezes up completely again, just as it did in the old version.
This is completely unworkable because it not only freezes the player, but the whole pc - I have to cold start the whole desktop every time.
