Description of Issue

I recently moved Roon Core from an old Mac to a new MacBook Pro. During setup, Roon software does not show any devices as “Roon Ready” despite their being 5 BluOS devices on the same wifi network with similar IP addresses (only the last numbers differ between the devices). Also, only one of the devices (the Powernode) shows up as an available source via Airplay. In an attempt to remedy, I reset all the players (factory reset + new setup) and did a clean install of Roon SW on the MacBook - still no luck.

There may be a combination of factors in your case, not sure. But there is a known issue with the latest BlueOS firmware update that breaks “Roon Ready” and it only works with AirPlay. BlueSound is aware and working on a fix:

Further down in this thread there are workarounds by reinstalling an older firmware
