Advanced Tips

Use ReplayGain when mixing tracks from different sources to avoid sudden volume jumps.
For best audio fidelity on Windows, set Eufony Lite to use WASAPI Exclusive mode if using a high-quality DAC.
Store your music library on an SSD for faster scanning and search responsiveness.
Regularly rebuild the library index if you move large numbers of files to prevent missing entries.
Export your settings/profile before major upgrades so you can restore custom shortcuts, themes, and EQ presets.

Troubleshooting

No sound

Check system volume and Eufony Lite output device.
Verify file format is supported; try playing a known-good MP3 or WAV.
Disable exclusive mode if other apps need to share the audio device.

Missing tracks after import

Ensure folders were added and scanning completed.
Confirm file permissions allow Eufony Lite to read files.
Use rescanning or “Add folder” to re-index moved files.

Playback stutter

Increase audio buffer size in settings.
Close CPU-heavy applications or enable low-latency audio mode if available.

Crash on startup

Try launching in safe mode (disables plugins and custom extensions).
Reinstall after removing configuration files (backup settings first).

Security & Privacy Notes

Eufony Lite stores only local metadata and playlists by default.
If enabling cloud sync or scrobbling, review permissions and what data is shared.
Keep the player updated to benefit from security patches and performance improvements.
