It would be great to give some details of the device and version of Linux or FreeBSD in use along with the version of Shairport Sync you are using (use `$ shairport-sync -V` to get this). Then, if possible, some diagnostic information from the log or logfile would be useful. +If your system uses `systemd`, as most recent Linuxes do, try using: +``` +$ sudo systemctl status shairport-sync +``` +You might get something lke this: +``` +● shairport-sync.service - Shairport Sync - AirPlay Audio Receiver + Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/shairport-sync.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled) + Active: active (running) since Fri 2019-11-29 08:52:47 GMT; 3s ago + Main PID: 19812 (shairport-sync) + Tasks: 10 (limit: 4915) + Memory: 2.0M + CGroup: /system.slice/shairport-sync.service + └─19812 /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync + +``` + +If so, please paste it in as code (see below) the output into your message. + In general, a log verbosity of 2 is adequate (`-vv`, or the relevant entry in the configuration file), and it's usually helpful if statistics have been enabled (`--statistics` on the command line, or the relevant entry in the configuration file). If you are pasting in code or a log file, format it as code by preceding it and following it with a line containing exactly three backquotes and nothing else ([see here](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) for more on formatting):
