Has it worked before? This is an ALSA issue. Do you use Pulseaudio perhaps?

No, it hasn't worked before, i just installed it now. And no, i don't use pulseaudio. It was installed before, i uninstalled it, but i haven't used it.

no effect.

You should put your device settings in /etc/asound.conf instead of ~/.asoundrc if you have it.

Also, mpd can autodetect devices, so try with no set device as well.

I don't have asound and i did tried without setting device.

if this an ALSA issue, can i not use ALSA, something else maybe, and have ncmpcpp working

Almoullim · 2015-02-02 10:46:41

Solved. It was a sound controler issue with alsa, once i solved that, mpd did too. Thanks
