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
