Description of Issue

I cannot see my Bluesound Powernode 2i listed under roon ready devices. I do see it under other network devices. Due to this, it is airplaying my library to the Powernode 2i from my Core on my Macbook Pro.

How can I get my Powernode 2I under the Roon Ready section (I assume it is Roon Ready).

Thanks,
Avinash

Maybe this is related to this known problem with the latest Bluesound firmware update:

BluOS devices do not show up via Roon Ready mode after updating to BluOS version 3.20.45 [BluOS team aware]

Hello All, Thank you for the reports here. We have been able to reproduce this issue in the lab using BluOS firmware version 3.20.45 and power cycling the BluOS device. We are in active communication with the Bluesound team and they are working on this issue. We are standing by and ready to assist them in any capacity they need to resolve this for all of our mutual customers. In the meantime, we have found that performing a reboot of the Roon Core can help restore the Roon Ready functionality…

I have restarted the Roon core as well as my Mac multiple times. But does not seem to help so far. Thanks.

I had a similar issue to you and wanted to share how I solved it. Last year, I purchased an NAD M10 V2 all-in-one streaming amplifier, which was always Roon-ready and I always upgraded to the latest firmware online. The latest upgrade version is BLUEOS 3.20.45.

A few days ago, I accidentally restored the machine to factory settings, and after rebooting, I encountered the same issue as you: the device only appeared in “other network devices” in AirPlay mode, and disappeared in Roon-ready mode. I contacted technical support from our country’s distributor, but the methods they suggested couldn’t solve the problem.

Finally, I found BLUEOS v.3.20.25 from last year’s web-ftp directory list on NAD’s official website, which is applicable to M10V2. I downloaded and extracted the .img file to a fat32 USB drive and inserted it into the machine to revert to version 3.20.25. After that, the problem was solved, and Roon-ready came back. I then upgraded to the latest version 3.20.45 online, and Roon-ready did not disappear.

Perhaps as Suedkiez mentioned, there are still some issues with Roon-ready in BLUEOS after version 3.20.45 that have not been fixed yet. Restoring to an older version of BLUEOS may solve this problem.

I hope this can help you.

Thanks. I will try this out.
