+
+I couldn't change volume, so in mpd.conf I uncommented the pulse audio lines and restarted mpd.  This allowed pulse audio output, which allows volume change via mpc.
+
+Also, make sure the user mpd is part of the group pulse:
+
+> sudo adduser mpd pulse
+
+In the audio_output section, try setting the mix_type to "software", not "hardware".
+
+
+If you're using alsa, check if the mpd user is part of the group 'audio'.
