[arch-general] MPD volume problems after update -> mpd 0.17-1
if I attempt to change the volume of the current song being played by mpd (tested with ncmpcpp and sonata), the volume gets muted, no sound can be heard. This did not happen with older version of mpd 0.16.x. I haven't touched my mpd.conf and mpd.log does not show anything suspicious. http://shining-global.en.alibaba.com/

It works for me with ncmpc. Could you try with it?
What's this? -- Gaetan

That's weird, it's one website I recently visited, how come it got to you, I don't know, it does not appear in my send email. I tried with ncmpc and got the same results, I will check my alsa and mpd configs files.

Well it is there: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2012-July/027863.html

Feel free to open a bug report against MPD if this persists (or even ALSA if you cannot adjust the volume in other applications either, say like mplayer). Cheers. -- Gaetan

I'm sorry, but I find it extremely confusing that you discuss if any of the clients make a difference on the mpd server's behavior. There's a section audio_output in mpd.conf, which probably caught some glitch, probably related to your sound system. checked for a /etc/mpd.conf.pacnew yet? as for my own config: audio_output { type "alsa" mixer_type "software" mixer_control "Master" } also, there are plenty of examples in my mpd.conf, some fiddling will likely solve the issue rather than installing 4 other clients... In other words, a different shaman won't replace your temple's lightning rod either. cheers! mar77i

This was to know whether his issue was client or server side.

Me, I have no issue... Try replying to Sébastien instead.

That's a horrendous approach to problem solving, really. My advice: let everything commented in your mpd.conf so that MPD autodetects ALSA... -- Gaetan

+1 I am aware I sometimes overlook the obvious. OTOH I tried to answer without best-guessing OP's sound system. cheers! mar77i

Here it works fine with gmpc. -- xmpp: bjo@schafweide.org bjo.nord-west.org | nord-west.org | freifunk-ol.de

Did you read the rest of the discussion? We already established that this problem is specific to his ALSA or MPD configuration... -- Gaetan
Does this happen with other applications that use ALSA and changes the Master volume too? A tip is to use software volume control, I think it's quite nice to have indiviual control of applications volume. Also OSS > ALSA able to On Tue, Jul 03, 2012 at 09:23:01PM -0400, Sébastien le Preste de Vauban wrote:
