Description of Issue

I was having repeated problems with Roon and networking issues, so I wanted to start fresh from scratch again. So I

  • Bought the above Router and 2 satellites
  • Bought a new Nucleas
  • Reset my Bluesond nodes to factory settings (I was having intermittent static issues and other posts here recommended that)

My Bluesounds do not show up as “Roon Ready” in the audio devices settings of the app. Only via Airplay. I know they are connected to the wifi.

Per other posts, I stopped the Roon Server, deleted the 2 Cache files:

  • devicedb-prod.zip.etag
  • devicedb-prod
    Restarted the Roon Servier

And I have rebooted the Roon, the wi-fi, and each Bluesound node, but they still only show as available via Airplay.

This caused the issue and it is currently a known BlueOS problem. Bluesound is working on it. At the end of the thread you will find workarounds by installing older BlueOS firmware:

Thanks for the info. At least I am not crazy. I would try to roll back the firmware, but I think I got myself in enough trouble today. I’ll wait for the fix from Bluesound. Thanks again for your help today. I appreciate it.
