Mpd, not working

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:819:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
problems getting ao_driver_info
you may not have permission to the audio device

Output.

This might be because my it is detecting another soundcard in "alsamixer", I have to do alsamixer -c 1 to get the right card. My sound card is at hw 0 1 but I think it is using hw 0 0.

Help would be appreciated.

It's just a simple copy of mpd.conf.sample, with the port and music directory changed.

Re: Mpd, not working

http://pastebin.com/ is ideal for little text files, proupload is very slow.

But I think I can help you anyway, since I solved this little issue not too long ago:
The important parts of my  mpd.conf look like follows:

################### VOLUME MIXER #########################
#
# Examples:
# ALSA Mixer 
mixer_type        "alsa"
mixer_device        "dmix"
#mixer_device        "default"
mixer_control        "PCM"
#
# OSS Mixer
#mixer_type        "oss"
#mixer_device         "/dev/mixer"
#mixer_control        "PCM"
#
# Software Mixer
#mixer_type        "software"
#
##########################################################


################## AUDIO OUTPUT ##########################
#
# OSS Audio Output
#ao_driver         "oss"
#ao_driver_options     "dsp=/dev/dsp"
#
# ALSA Audio Output
ao_driver        "alsa09"
#ao_driver_options    "dev=hw:0,0"
ao_driver_options    "dev=dmixer"
#
# Set this if you have problems 
# playing audio files.
# This will resample your music so
# that it comes out at the set rate. 
#
#audio_output_format    "44100:16:2"
#
# You should not need mess with 
# this value unless you know 
# what you're doing.
#
#audio_write_size    "1024"
#
##########################################################

Of course, you need to follow the instructions of this article (the part with dmix)

It works

Re: Mpd, not working

Looking at that thought, it you wanted to skip dmix for whatever reason you could just set ao_driver_options to "dev=hw:0,1".
