You can try with my mpd.conf
and see if it works for you (I also took the liberty to customize the directories for you, so that you don't have to change them!):
music_directory "/home/nathan/Music"
playlist_directory "/home/nathan/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/nathan/.mpd/mpdstate"
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "mpd pluse-audio-output"
}
#audio_output {
# type "alsa"
# name "mpd alsamixer-output"
# }
audio_output {
type "fifo"
name "fifo_visualizer"
path "/tmp/mpd.fifo"
format "44100:16:2"
}
- If
pulse
doesn't work for you, you can always tryalsa
settings. Simply reverse/change#
comments. - In
ncmpcpp
use either [8 and/or F8: Outputs], to activate/deactivate audio-output, by highlighting it, followed by pressing Enterkey!

Before it stopped working, did you change anything in the settings manually or did it just happened out of the blue?! Is your music library/path implemented correctly in both
mpd.conf
andconfig
(ncmpcpp directory)?! Also see theerror.log
in ncmpcpp directory for any clues!– v2rJun 14, 2014 at 11:16
