ncmpcpp doesn't interact with oss directly, it displays the volume it receives from mpd.

so in mpd.conf, you need to uncomment the lines for controlling the oss mixer

I have OSS enabled in mpd config. Are there any other lines? This is what I have:

music_directory "~/music"
playlist_directory "~/music/playlist"
db_file "~/.mpd/db"
log_file "~/.mpd/log"
error_file "~/.mpd/error"
pid_file "~/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "~/.mpd/mpdstate"
user "haxit"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
port "6600"
audio_output {
type "oss"
name "My Audio Device"
}

i have this in /etc/mpd.conf and volume works fine with OSS:

# An example for controlling an OSS mixer:
#
mixer_type                      "oss"
mixer_device                    "/dev/mixer"
mixer_control                   "PCM"

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
