Overview
If Spotify doesn’t appear in SYQEL, it’s usually due to one of a few simple reasons.
Common Causes & Fixes
1. Spotify isn’t playing audio
SYQEL detects apps that are actively playing sound.
✅ Fix:
Start playing a song, then click Refresh in SYQEL.
2. SYQEL hasn’t refreshed yet
New audio sources only appear after refreshing.
✅ Fix:
Click Refresh again after Spotify is playing.
3. Spotify was opened after SYQEL
Sometimes SYQEL needs a refresh to detect newly opened apps.
✅ Fix:
Click Refresh, or restart SYQEL if needed.
4. System permissions (rare)
Your system may restrict access to audio sources.
✅ Fix:
Check your system audio or security settings and ensure SYQEL has proper access.
