The last entry in mpd.log is from 02 oct. I doubt that will help.
However
when I try to start mpd I get this error, [papul@archlinux ~]$ sudo rc.d start mpd :: Starting Music Player Daemon [BUSY] /etc/rc.d/mpd: line 6: 9910 Aborted /usr/bin/mpd /etc/mpd.conf &>/dev/null
Usually I put in hashes ('#') into the /etc/rc.d/mpd script to check what output there is destroyed. Could be useful.

After adding '#' in /etc/rc.d/mpd here's what I get when I try to start it, [papul@archlinux ~]$ sudo rc.d start mpd :: Starting Music Player Daemon [BUSY] listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded) output: No "audio_output" defined in config file output: Attempt to detect audio output device output: Attempting to detect a alsa audio device ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

[FAIL]
wow that fails for several reasons. you should: 1. configure alsa in mpd.conf, then mpd will be mixed over dmix (which won't fix the actual problem) 2. make sure the user which runs mpd to the audio group and figure out why both alsa and pulse would refuse the connection. who (uid/gid) runs those, what other security mechanisms could stick in between, like a too restrictively configured firewall etc.
oh and you should figure out if mpd is already running, or if this config option is plain wrong that makes mpd try to "bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use" ... sometimes mpd hangs up and you have to kill it with SIGABRT / 6.
I'm just at a very similar issue a friend of mine is having with mpd and jack. you should get those permissions right in the first place... :) I'll go there and adjust /etc/group until it works, I guess.

Forget about mpd. Why doesn't audio play on vlc and in browsers? I regularly visit sites like grooveshark,com. Also I do have my username in audio group. Everything was fine until I ran pacman -Syu. :(
Hello Martti. Please show 'ls -l /dev/snd/' output and try to launch alsamixer(under root and unprivileged user) copy all error messages. Be sure that you have alsa-utils installed and alsa daemon is running. Cheers, Roman. ______________________________ Распродажи купальников on-line. Сравнение цен.
