- **Q:** I'm trying to play sounds on `mt32-pi` using my MIDI keyboard controller but I'm not hearing anything - what's wrong?
**A:** Your keyboard is probably sending note data on **channel 1**, but by default, on power-up the MT-32 is set to receive on MIDI **channels 2-10**. Check your keyboard's documentation to see if you can change the transmit channel. If this isn't possible, [see this wiki page](https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/wiki/MIDI-channel-assignment) for more information on how to reassign the emulated MT-32's channels.
- **Q:** I'm getting sound distortion and/or the power LED on my Raspberry Pi is blinking - why?
**A:** It's possible that the Pi is not receiving enough power. Try swapping the USB cable being used to power the Pi, or try another power supply. Check the [Raspberry Pi power supply page] for recommended power supply specifications.
- **Q:** Why don't I see any video output on my HDMI-connected monitor or television? Has the Pi has failed to boot?
**A:** This is completely normal - `mt32-pi` is designed to run headless and therefore there is no video output. For troubleshooting purposes, it's possible to compile `mt32-pi` with HDMI debug logs enabled, but these builds will hang on a Raspberry Pi 4 if **no** HDMI display is attached due to a quirk of the Pi 4 and Circle. Hence, for regular use, video output is disabled.
- **Q:** What happened to the old `mt32-pi` project that was based on a minimal Linux distro built with Buildroot?
