Description of Issue
I had Roon working perfectly under Catalina, then I upgraded to Big Sur. Big Mistake.

Now none of my multichannel files play without being mixed down to stereo.

What can I do (apart from spending several days reinstalling Catalina) to fix this?

Thanks

I found the culprit, for some reason after the Big Sur update the settings for the Denon had been changed to 2.0. I’ve only been using Roon for a few weeks so don’t know my way around yet. That’s on issue off the list of things Big Sur has broken! :smiley:
