Thread: mpd and pulseaudio = no sound when playing in mpd


just title says, when use mpd pulseaudio, no sound clients appear playing (ncmpcpp , gmpc). other players such vlc or mplayer work fine.

if go under mixer, "no application playing or recording audio" under "applications" tab when playing through mpd. in contrast, when i'm using mplayer or vlc, both show in tab. behaves though pulse not configured work mpd.

here config (edited out commented line brevity):
code:
$ cat /etc/mpd.conf | sed '/#/d'  music_directory		"/media/data/dm/genre"  playlist_directory	"/var/lib/mpd/playlists"  db_file			"/var/lib/mpd/mpd.db"  log_file		"/var/log/mpd/mpd.log"  pid_file		"/var/run/mpd/mpd.pid"  state_file		"/var/lib/mpd/mpdstate"  user "mpd"    log_level     "verbose"    gapless_mp3_playback			"yes"    zeroconf_enabled		"yes"  zeroconf_name			"music player"    input {          plugin "curl"  }    audio_output {  	type		"pulse"  name		"my pulse output"  }    mixer_type			"software"  audio_buffer_size "35000"  buffer_before_play "5%"
pulseaudio running mpd:
code:
$ ps aux | grep mpd  mpd       6503  0.4  0.0 222952  4840 ?        s<sl 15:26   0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog  mpd       6507  0.0  0.0 102992  3228 ?        s    15:26   0:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
i switched loglevel verbose, deleted existing log, started mpd fresh log written , tried play tune. no audio output appeared playing in client. here log.
