Are you sure that the command worked? Ideally it should have failed as
copying anything to a directory outside *your* home directory (eg.
'/home/njain') requires 'sudo'. So either your command should have been:

$ cp -R /media/Elements/home/njain /home/<your-user-id>

or

$ sudo cp -R /media/Elements/home/njain /home

or you have set world write permission to your root or /home directory
which is highly undesirable.

In any case, I don't think that command should have caused the sound
problem.

Do you remember any error or warning messages being displayed on terminal
when you gave that command?

Try running rhythmbox from the terminal, like:
$ rhythmbox

and post the output. It might help finding the real cause of this problem.
Also try googling the error line that you find in the output.
