### Raspbian Bullseye
The newest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) defaults to a display driver that doesn't support Moonlight's renderer.
To fix this, you can edit the `/boot/config.txt` file:
1. Run `sudo nano /boot/config.txt`
2. Scroll down using the arrow keys until you see the line that says `dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d`
3. Type a `#` at the start of that line
4. Press Ctrl+X, press Y, then press Enter
5. Reboot your Pi
## Common problems and solutions ## Common problems and solutions
### No video while streaming
This is most likely because you're running Raspbian Bullseye or another Linux distro that enables the Full KMS display driver by default.
To fix this, you can follow the steps above in the Raspbian Bullseye section.
### No audio output or crackly audio output ### No audio output or crackly audio output
The Raspberry Pi OS team has [recently released an update](https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-raspberry-pi-os-release-december-2020/) that switches from ALSA to PulseAudio for audio output. In response, Moonlight Qt v3.0.0 now defaults to using PulseAudio on the Raspberry Pi.
