 # Spotifyd docker 
 
+[Repo](https://git.kapelle.org/niklas/spotifyd-docker)
+
+[Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/djeeberjr/spotifyd)
+
 Run [spotifyd](https://github.com/Spotifyd/spotifyd) inside docker. Inspired by [GnaphronG/docker-spotifyd](https://github.com/GnaphronG/docker-spotifyd).
 
 # Setup
 
-You need to add the `/dev/snd` to the container. Because the container uses Alsa you can have only one application use the device. If you have a something else runnig on your system that uses Alsa, you will get an error.
+You need to add the `/dev/snd` to the container. 
+
+If the container starts successfully and you still hear no audio then the audio output may be disabled in alsa. In that case you can open bash inside your container and run `alsamixer`. There you can unmute the master. When it comes to alsa i recommend reading the [ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture) on this topic.
 
 Check out the `docker-compose.yml` for an example.
