mpd sound skipping
I have a problem with MPD. I don't know when it started, but it's quite annoying. Quite often the sound starts skipping, which is very annoying. I've never had this problem before, this is some info:

Re: mpd sound skipping
Your setup looks weird, with all the dmix info in the config file. I only have the "type" and "name lines uncommented in the "audio output" section, like this:
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "my ALSA device"
# device "hw:0,1" # optional
# format "44100:16:2" # optional
}Dmix works fine on my system.

With this setup sound skips even more. To the point that it's not even usable. Like every 5s or so. Now it sounds like an old broken record. So this didn't help ... hmm however this is something in dmesg that caught my attention:
possible SYN flooding on port 47138. Sending cookies.
possible SYN flooding on port 47138. Sending cookies.
... loads of times.
This seems to have something to do with some sort of attack(?) when I use google.

Re: mpd sound skipping
Maybe you could try and see if OSS or Puleaudio, or something other than alsa in either case, would work better with your soundcard.

The odd thing is that I've been running mpd for months without a problem. And all of the sudden I get this. I do not understand what could be wrong.

Re: mpd sound skipping
I cannot find on how to change topic, but this is what caused it and what solves it:
1) Upgrading to most recent version of utorrent
2) Not having the proper port set, 47173 was set for me in utorrent which my firewall didn't allow
3) When changing port to something that is allowed dmesg doesn't display any more error messages and sound stops skipping
Edit: No this didn't solve it. Now it's back again.

Re: mpd sound skipping
I'm suffering of similar syndrome. I'd like to say that it's *extremely* annoying! It all started after I had updated major packages from the core repo. It was a huge update, I don't know exactly which packages are responsible for this (kernel26 I guess, or one of alsa libs).
This is the list of updated packages:

Anyone found any solution for this?

Re: mpd sound skipping
I do have no skipping here, mpd works perfectly for me, but some days ago I accidently killed one of the mpd processes in htop. This didn't completely kill mpd, but a few seconds later, mpd changed to another song. Is this what's happening to you guys? Maybe you could watch the processes, maybe mpd crashes all the time. Just an idea

Re: mpd sound skipping
What happens is in the middle of playing a song, it just stops for around a second, and then continues playing. It doesn't happen when the tracks are changing, it usually happens in the middle of the song
Changing the buffer levels didn't make any difference, and the logs aren't outputting anything

Re: mpd sound skipping
I've had this same issue for many months, beginning when I upgraded from 12 something to the 13 series. This thread, and one other (a single post) on the mpd forums are the only mentions of the issue on the whole interweb....
Anyhow, the issue seemed to be getting progressively worse, and after trying everything I could think of relating to mpd (playing with mpdconf, installing and reinstalling, compiling & recompiling, etc.) I decided to attack the issue from the alsa side of the coin.
I ran alsaconf and essentially re-installed my sound card.
It's been 2 days, and mpd (which runs 24/7) is still behaving nicely. I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: well, scratch this as a solution - it's happened again....
cheers,

Re: mpd sound skipping
Possibly solved!!??
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "mpd"
device "hw:0,0"
use_nmpa "yes"
}I uncommented the device line, and added the use_nmpa "yes" and I haven't had an issue in 4 days, which is a record.
I'll keep y'all posted....
cheers,

Re: mpd sound skipping
mrclisdue, this worked for me too. My problem started differently. I started to play a high bitrate mp3 320 kbs and then it started to skip those only. I still have no idea. The computer is old but when I use a command line player like mplayer or mpg321 it played fine. So I knew it had to do with the mpd.conf file.
Your suggestion for the configuration file works perfectly I am using "mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.14".
I tried to look up this option and I can't find any mention of it. Searching Google for this string yielded one web page, this. How is it that you seem to be the only one that knows about this? Where did you find out about this configuration?
[EDIT]
I found it.

Re: mpd sound skipping
Nothing here worked ... I solved my mpd skipping problem by pausing it and unpausing. No idea what went wrong

Re: mpd sound skipping
Hi guys,
Here's what fixed this for me:

# device "hw:0,0" # optional

mixer_control "Master"
use_mmap "yes"
auto_resample "yes"
}I hope this helps, cheers.

Re: mpd sound skipping
Recently my mpd started skipping. I was in the middle of a song when it happened! It doesn't make any sense to me, my only solution is to use xmms or mocp. Could this be a different issue?
Edit:
I guess I should mention that this fix didn't work for me.
2nd edit:
Now compiling 15.3
3rd edit:
.15.3 solved the problem.
Thanks guys

Re: mpd sound skipping
I have been having this problem, and it happened randomly as far as I could tell as well. I would encourage anyone who has this problem to inspect both /var/log/mpd.log and /var/log/mpd.error. My problem appeared in mpd.log. If anyone has a shoutcast (icecast) server running that isn't working properly, mpd will be unable to connect. If mpd keeps trying to connect, the audio will lag while the connection is attempted. I noticed that while watching the log, every pause would occur just before an icecast connection error was posted. After disabling that output device in my mpd.conf, mpd is no longer stuttering. This is pretty lame, but I don't use Icecast that much anyway.
Jan 23 17:10 : output: Failed to open "Hesperaux's Radio" [shout]: problem opening connection to shout server 192.168.1.103:8000: Couldn't connectHope this helps someone.
