TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some XPlaycd troubleshooting:
-----------------------------

Q: It quits with 'xplaycd: Can't open /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory'
A: As root, create a symbolic link from /dev/cdrom to your cdrom device.
   For a scsi cdrom, usually this works:
    cd /dev
    ln -s cdrom sr0

Q: It starts up and says 'No disk' even if there is a disk in the drive.
A: Hm, this may have many reasons, check if you have made the right link in
   /dev. If you are using a non-scsi cdrom, you may just have no luck, I really
   don't know if it works for them.

Q: The volume control doesn't work, it is just an empty bar.
A: You told XPlaycd to use the mixerdevice for volume control and you
   don't have such a device or you used the wrong name for it.
   To use the mixerdevice, you must have a soundcard.
   Check config.h if the definition of MIXER_DEVICE matches your devicename
   and check if that device really exists.

Q: I don't have the default font, so the program always tells me an annoying
   message that it uses fixed, how can i get rid of this?
A: Call it as 'xplaycd -fn fixed' or change the DEFAULT_FONT in config.h



Some XMixer troubleshooting:
----------------------------

Q: It quits with 'xmixer: Can't open /dev/mixer: No such file or directory'
A: You can use this program only if you have a soundcard. Check if the
   file exists. If not, check the sound-faq on how to create the device entry.

Q: It quits with 'xmixer: Can't open /dev/mixer: No such device or address'
A: You probably don't have sound support in the kernel. Check if your
   sounddriver is installed properly and if it has mixer support.

Q: I don't have the default font, so the program always tells me an annoying
   message that it uses fixed, how can i get rid of this?
A: Call it as 'xmixer -fn fixed' or change the DEFAULT_FONT in config.h

Q: Some buttons don't work. E.g., if I press the mute button, it immediately
   pops out again and nothing happens.
A: Some sounddrivers are known to have bugs. The PAS driver in Kernel 1.1.8
   for example lacks the support for muting and stereo-wide. As a rule of
   thumb, if a button does not work, your sound driver or sound hardware
   does not support it.
