Description of Issue

Roon is working fine with my Microsoft Surface Pro Windows 10 x64 machine as a client and with my android phone. But not with THIS PC…

This PC is an 18 core i9 machine running windows Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043
Network is GB. Wirewall open for roon / raatserver.

App launches and sits showing the core version and IP with a red bullet “Initializing…”

Tried x32 and x64 bit versions. With uninstall and reboots. Same thing

Resource monitor shows no disk activity for the app, but continuous low levels of TCP traffic that looks like probes for the most part but some to googleusercontent.com.

No idea what to try next. Roon obviously working - just not on this machine. No idea why…

2

Turns out I also cannot log into last.fm from either of my working remotes…

3

Also tried scrubbing registry after uninstall and reboot - no luck either…

4

Pulled the handshake from the log: “Unable to read data from the transport connection” says it all.

Again, this works fine on other machines. The Core and this machine (referred to above) are connected on the same Ubiquiti switch at 1GB

So… lots of things failing and hard for me to know which is the root. But the lack of a raatserver would have to be fatal…

I pulled together synchronised RAATserver log and procmon logs with the raatserver log highlighted.

Nothing there seems to explain why the JSON server is throwing an error other than the RAATServerApp.PDB file not being created…

IF someone with some expertise can advice what to look at next I would appreciate it…

Drilling down into a comparison of Process Monitor data I find this machine - which is stuck at “initializing” is taking some different steps that fail relative to my laptop where it works

This sequence is where the RAATserver is preparing to load the server.
Now compare with the working laptop

This desktop does a “Query Security File” which results in a buffer overflow. This instruction does not execute on the laptop at all - and the laptop works.

This may be a complete red herring as both the dll’s have the same permission structure on both machines. But strange. Ultimately the query I think shows appropriate ownership.

In general where it works on the laptop there are not “QuerySecurityFile” operations, rather they are “QueryAllInformation”. THe former result in buffer overflows on first call the latter no errors.

Grasping at straws here… Also tried creating a new account and installing ROON - same outcome.

Am admin on both machines. Have tried compatibility changes also no difference.

Have since successfully installed ROON on another W10 machine on same network. So 2 x Wndows and 1 android work beautifully. This window machine - not so much

sigh

So, after trying every day to see if it works with no success - today… …it works. What’s different? I have no idea!!! Just love situations like this.

Ah well, not to look gift horses in mouth; accept and enjoy I guess.
