LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] MPD and pulseaudio: underrun

Hello,

On Ubuntu 16.04 I installed mpd (version 0.9.12).

This setup in mpd.conf worked in Ubuntu 14.04:

Code:

audio_output {

    type      "pulse"

    name      "pulse output"

}

On the same machine now running 16.04 I added:

Code:

mixer_type "software"

-- before that setting the volume failed (through mpc volume for example).

Problem: audio playback now stops very often.

Pulseaudio sends error messages like the following:

Code:

pulseaudio[21406]: Processing rewind...

pulseaudio[21406]: Implicit underrun of 'pulse output'

pulseaudio[21406]: alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo: Found underrun 27572 bytes ago (9472 bytes ahead in playback buffer)
