Description Of Issue

Using the Roon client on my Macbook Pro I can play directly to the inbuilt speakers. I can also pair the Macbook to a Bluetooth speaker and play Youtube to that. However when I play from Roon the output continues through the internal speakers rather than going to the Bluetooth speaker. Is there a way to get Roon to use the Bluetooth connection ?

Hello @stevet,

To allow Roon to play to the Bluetooth audio device, you should enable the “System Output” zone in the Settings > Audio screen and play to this zone in Roon.
