<h1>Troubleshooting</h1>
<p>
Below are listed some commonly found problems. If you can't get TSE3
working then look here. If you don't find the answer, then just ask!
<hr>
<dl>
<dt><b>I can't get any output</b></dt>
<dd>When you run <code>tse3play</code> do you get any errors? If so then
look for a description below.
<p>
If not, do you have your soundcard installed correctly? You can
run <code>tse3play</code> with the <code>--verbose</code> parameter
to get some diagnostics about the setup of your soundcard. If no
soundcard is listed then try reinstalling it.<br>
If you do have a soundcard installed and setup properly, is it's
volume raised, and have you got your speaker cable in the correct
socket?
<p>
Does the soundcard support both MIDI and audio output - the
<code>--verbose</code> output will tell you which output TSE3
uses by default; trying forcing it to another port with
<code>--force-port</code>.</dd>
<dt><b>I get the message "Opening FM patch file failed"</b></dt>
<dd>You have an FM soundcard and so TSE3 tries to load the FM patches
file on your computer to put sounds into your soundcard. The
files are commonly found in <code>/etc/midi</code>, however on
your system the files are not here.<br>
The files TSE3 is looking for are: <code>std.o3</code>,
<code>std.sb</code>, <code>drums.o3</code> and <code>drums.sb</code>.
If you locate this file, try running <code>tse3play</code> with
the <code>--patches-dir</code> parameter.</dd>
<dt><b>I get the message "Opening GUS patch file failed"</b></dt>
<dd>You have a GUS soundcard and so TSE3 tries to load the GUS patches
files on your compueter to put sounds into your soundcard. The
files are commonly found in <code>/etc/midi</code>, however on your
system the files are not here.<br>
The files TSE3 is looking for are <code>*.pat</code>, which
includes, for example, <code>acpiano.pat</code> and
<code>epiano1.pat</code>.
If you locate this file, try running <code>tse3play</code> with
the <code>--patches-dir</code> parameter.</dd>
