 If the audio device desired for playback is set as `default`, the Engine now should be ready to play sound. If you are not hearing any sound set a working output device for `output_device_0` in `engine-core.ini` and carefully review the logs.

 The aformentioned `audio` folder is the base for retrieving audio files. Engine Core is referencing three folders from this so-called *Audio Store*:
 
-- **`audio/station/`**: A local folder for any emergency playback, also called *Station Fallback*. All audio files inside are played in a randomized order, if no actually scheduled music is played by the engine. The folder is being watched for changes. So you can add/remove audio on the fly.

 - **`audio/playlist/`**: Put a file `station-fallback-playlist.m3u` in here and it has the same effect as the fallback folder. If nothing else is scheduled, the M3U Playlist is played with higher priority than the folder. The playlist is being watched for changes.
 - **`audio/source/`**: This is the location for audio files provided by [Tank](https://gitlab.servus.at/aura/tank). Usually any audio files which are part of the scheduled programme are read for their broadcast from here. If you are running all AURA components on a single machine you should be fine with just creating a symbolic link to the relevant Tank folder (`ln -s ../engine/audio ./audio`). But in some [distributed and redundant production scenario](https://gitlab.servus.at/aura/meta/-/blob/master/docs/installation-guide.md) you might think about more advanced options on how to sync your audio files between machines. You can find some ideas in the doc " [Setting up the Audio Store](https://gitlab.servus.at/aura/meta/-/blob/master/docs/setup-audio-store.md)".
