I've also done this ;- cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb44000 irq 43 1 [Generic_1 ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic HD-Audio Generic at 0xfeb40000 irq 16 This is from the mpd log ;- ALSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM Generic_1 Jan 09 12:05 : output: Failed to open "MPD ALSA" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "Generic_1": No such file or directory Jan 09 12:05 : player_thread: problems opening audio device while playing "Ave Maria - Sacred Arias and Choruses/01 Various - Bach - Jesu bleibet meine Freude.mp3" Which leads me to think that mpd isn't finding the sound card, but I don't know how else to enter it. I've tried various permutations of 0, 1, Generic, and Generic_1 but it still refuses to play. After each change of the mpd config I'm doing a 'service mpd restart' but it is not playing ball and working. I've even tried this, from the mpd.config;- audio_output { type "alsa" name "MPD ALSA" #device "Generic_1" mixer_type "software" mixer_device "default" mixer_control "PCM" } In the hope that it would load the default sound card, but it didn't work. > > I put into Google: > > mpd streaming radio "permission denied" > > and got back quite a few hits - maybe one of those will help? > Web Results 1 - 10 of about 26,000 for mpd streaming radio "permission > denied".
