Hi @Bill_Thornton ----- Thank you for the report, the insight and feedback are both appreciated!
Moving forward, I agree with @Geoff_Coupe’s suggestion above (thanks Geoff 
) and would kindly like to ask you to please enable the setting mentioned here (i.e “Work around devices that misreport capabilities”) on the Bose 7 audio zone in Roon and verify if this action yields a change in behavior.
