Ncmpcpp says it is playing, but does not play anything

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. I just installed mpd and ncmpcpp. Whenever I play any audio file, ncmpcpp detects the file and says it is playing, but no actual audio is playing. I followed this tutorial on installing and configuring both mpc and ncmpcpp. This is my mpd configuration:

music_directory "~/Music"
playlist_directory "~/Playlists"
db_file "~/.local/share/mpd/mpd.db"
log_file "~/.local/share/mpd/mpd.log"
pid_file "~/.local/share/mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "~/.local/share/mpd/mpd.state"
sticker_file "~/.local/share/mpd/sticker.sql"
bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
log_level "default"
restore_paused "yes"
metadata_to_use "artist,album,title,track,name,genre,date"
auto_update "yes"
input { plugin "curl"
}
audio_output { type "pulse" name "pulse audio"
}
audio_output { type "fifo" name "mpd_fifo" path "/tmp/mpd.fifo" format "44100:16:2"
}

EDIT: I would like to also clarify that I tried to install the latest version as it says in this answer, but I get this message for one of the packages:

E: Package 'libsystemd-daemon-dev' has no installation candidate

So, I download the .deb file and tried to install it from there. When I run "sudo dpkg -i" and the path to the file, I get this error:

dpkg: error processing package libsystemd-daemon-dev (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing: libsystemd-daemon-dev

I found the answer to my own problem. I had to install the PulseAudio (What I'm using) GUI:

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

Run it, and fix the problem. I suppose for those using alsa it would the mixer, and so on for other sound server programs.
