Control two audio source's volume as one group

[Anthony_McCarthy]

Roon Core Machine

I have a ROON group setup in my office… one is an ARCAM IR DAC with AudioEngine A5+ speakers running off my Apple MacPro and the other is a Bluesound PowerNode 2i with B&W 603 S3 speakers (WiFi Connected). Currently I control both these individually and I have a kind of sweet spot for general listening in my office… but when the phone rings… or I just want to increase the volume… I need to adjust both sliders individually to achieve that sweet spot once more, is there any way to globally adjusting the volume of that one Roon Group with one slider…?

Due to the wide range of devices Roon supports, we need to use extra care when designing critical controls like these. Every Roon Ready device has been tested and certified by our team so we know volume implementations can vary widely from device to device. These variations can be even more extreme wi…
