Are you using PulseAudio? It may be that MPD is starting PulseAudio,
and because systemd --user daemons run outside the user session you
can't access the running PulseAudio from within your session without
restarting MPD. If this is the case, I recommend following the
instructions at [1] to send the audio from MPD to your user session
(ignore the fact that it's written to use different users; it will
work fine without that).
