Cannot enable Airplay on Mac Mini with latest Roon upgrade (ref#ISFKDN)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· I have Roon set up on my Mac Mini. Apparently, with the latest upgrade, I cannot play directly to the speakers connected to my computer. Instead, my only option is through Airplay. I have set up Airplay, but when I click on Enable, it just keeps spinning on Enabling.

Did you try the customary post-update network permission reset in macOS?

Roon Server Can’t Find Audio Zones / macOS Sequoia Network Connectivity Issue Workaround

The Issue macOS Sequoia (version 15), has tighter (and more obfuscated) network security settings than preceding macOS versions. This is causing problems during Roon updates; despite being previously enabled during the Roon installation MacOS, after an update MacOS is denying access to the network (yet retains displaying all is well). Roon Status Roon support and product team are aware and are working a fix, which I understand is quite involved (I have no timeline for that, sorry). The Workar…

Hello @djatovsky

Since you’re running macOS, the behavior you’re seeing is consistent with the newer, stricter Local Network permission controls in the recent macOS releases.

Please try the following steps:

1. Open macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network
2. Make sure Roon and Roon Server are both enabled
3. Even if they are already enabled, please toggle them off and back on
4. Fully quit Roon Server from the macOS menu bar / task bar
5. Reboot your Mac
6. After reboot, launch Roon again and check if the devices is avaliable again.

Once these permissions are refreshed and the system restarted, your audio devices should reappear.

Please let us know if the issue persists after these steps, and we’ll continue from there.

Hi @djatovsky,

Just checking in on this. Were you able to try the Local Network permission steps on macOS, including making sure both Roon and Roon Server are enabled, toggling them off and back on, then fully quitting Roon Server and rebooting your Mac? If the devices are still missing after that refresh, let us know what you’re seeing and we’ll pick it up from there, thanks.

Hi @djatovsky,

MacOS will often revert Local Network permissions for Roon Server when we release a new Roon update.

Since Roon released an update today, make sure that you’ve once again toggled permissions in Privacy & Settings → Local Network.

We’ll keep this thread open for a few days just in case you have any issues. Thank you!
