Description Of Issue
If I try to play through my HomePod or Sonos or Bluesound Node via Airplay it doesn’t work, no music comes out. I get the same results regardless of what device (iMac, iPad or iPhone) I use as the controller.
I’m a new user so hopefully I’m just doing some step wrong. I select the HomePod on the bottom right corner of the Roon controller, select a song, then hit play, usually nothing happens and play symbol immediately reverts to the triangular play symbol, if I hit it a second time it will stay on the pause symbol and I can click on the coloured dot and see the signal path which ends with “AudioAccessory1,1 Airplay streaming”. However there is no sound coming out of the HomePod and the song time counter does not increase. If I click on the HomePod icon I see my list of Audio devices with the jumping bars next to HomePod. I get the same results if I try to AirPlay to the Sonos Play5 or Node except with the Sonos and Node it just stays on the initial paused state (no coloured dot, no jumping bars).
Airplay is otherwise working fine. I can Airplay music playing through the Apple Music or the Tidal apps on my iPad via Airplay to the HomePod or Sonos and it works fine.
When I send music from the Roon Controller to the Sonos Play5 via Sonos Streaming it works fine. I have no problem when I send the music to the Node via the Roon Ready direct path.
I have checked to ensure all devices are on latest firmware and have rebooted my router a couple of times.
