Troubleshooting guide
How do I use multiple folders or disks with my music library?
You can create links or shortcuts to other folders and place them in your specified
Music Library Folder. The contents of the linked folders will then be part of your Music
Library.
The volume is too high or too low.
Squeezebox is capable of slightly higher volume levels than most consumer audio gear
and may cause "clipping" with some receivers. If you notice clipping, make sure you
aren't connected to the PHONO input on your stereo, which is intended for devices
with different impedance. You also may wish to reduce the Squeezebox's volume level.
If the volume is too low even at the maximum setting or if it varies between songs, try
using your encoder's "normalize" setting to ensure that all your songs use the full
range.
The player doesn't obtain an IP address.
Check all your network connections, and make sure that the DHCP server is running.
Try a different ethernet cable, even if the hub indicates a good link. If you have a
Linksys brand DHCP router or wireless gateway, make sure you are using the latest
firmware for those devices. Also, try using static IP addresses instead of DHCP.
The player can't find the SlimServer.
Ensure that the SlimServer software is running, and that you can access it using a web
browser. If you have any firewall software installed, configure it to allow access to your
player.
How do I get back to the player's IP address configuration menu?
To return to the initial setup menu, reset the player by removing and then reinserting
the power cable.
The web interface won't come up, even though the Squeezebox is working.
Try using the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:9000/. (Be sure to type the "http://" part,
as some versions of Internet Explorer require it when accessing a URL by IP address.)
The web interface is working, but the player isn't able to communicate with the server.
Make sure that your ethernet hub or switch supports 10Mbps connections—most do.
Also try a different cable.
