 ### Updating Shairport Sync

+This guide is for updating an installation of Shairport Sync. If you installed Shairport Sync from a package, most of these instructions don't apply – please go to the section at the end called "Post Update Tasks"
 
 To do an update, you basically have to go through the whole process of building Shairport Sync again,
 but a few steps are shorter because you've done them before; you won't have to reinstall the build tools or libraries needed, and you won't have to define the user and group or reconfigure the settings in the configuration file.
 
 But before you begin, you should update and upgrade any packages.

+1 **Unmute the Output Device Mixer** (This applies only if you are using a hardware mixer for volume control.) Certain older versions of Shairport Sync could leave the output device mixer in a muted state after use to minimuse the possibility of noise. However, this is not generally compatible with other audio players using the same device, as they would generally expect the device to be unmuted. Recent versions of Shairport Sync therefore do not use the mute facility by default. When you update Shairport Sync, the output device mixer might have been muted by the previous version, so you should unmute it, using, for instance, the following command:
+```
+$ sudo amixer sset <mixer_name> unmute
+```
+Alternatively you can use `alsamixer`. A muted output has the letter(s) `M` as its value. Select it an type `M` again to unmute.
