Describe the issue

My Android phone connects to Roon Server, but only acts as a remote control, does not play music locally, i.e. not a client device, just a remote.

Describe your network setup

Windows 11 desktop PC, connected by ethernet to ASUS RT-BE82U WiFi7 router, WiFi connection to phone.

In Roon on the phone look in settings/audio and make sure the phone’s zone is enabled and not set to private in the zone settings.
