I've done a 'apt-cache search mpd plugins' which showed nothing relating

This is already in the default conf, so I've just left it alone. 

You should fix the other error first.

When I start 'ncmpcpp' it starts up okay and shows 'AMD HDMI Output' in its "Outputs" screen, but also shows "Volume: n/a" and it cant be adjusted. When I try to play some music from it, or a radio stream, nothing happens and the arrow showing its music position does not move, it just shows static. There is no sound output as well. 

Try putting "aplay -L" listed device in mpd.conf.

I've done nothing with this, I've been trying the above first.

Thanks for this

Sharon.
