Good afternoon @Adam_Pekar ! I hope you’re doing well today. We’re sorry to see you face this problem. At this point we would like to ask you to switch your phone to 60 HZ refresh rate for test purpose and try to use Roon ARC app again and check whether it still heats. Let us know please your fi…

Hi there, here’s a new screen recording with the screen set to 60hz. Resource usage remains high - largely unchanged. Screen_Recording_20250908_124847.mp4 Google Drive file.

Good day @Adam_Pekar ! Thanks for uploading a new video! We’ve opened an internal ticket for investigation and will keep you posted on this once there are new conclusions or updates. Regards.

Background the app during playback and keep other apps closed on the phone…

Hi there, I`ve done so, as instructed. The playback is currently running, my phone speaker as endpoint. App is backgrounded, screen is off. All other apps are closed and removed from memory. Added 11 songs ranging from 44.1 to 192khz and 16-24bit depth. Start time; 22:04 CEST, end approximately 22…

You have our apologies for the trouble here, and we’ve greatly appreciated your patien…

Hi, just posting to keep this topic alive. Hope to see an improvement in the resource usage with future updates :slight_smile: Thanks for investigating.
