Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

Tell us what's going on

· I'm having glitches when playing music with Roon and Blusound Node Nano using AirPlay 2.
When I play via Roon Arc or directly from Blusound Node Nano it works fine without any glitches.
I have Nucleus which is wired, and from there I use wireless network and it has worked fine until a few days ago. I updated Roon, and I think it happened after that. Regardless of whether I use Roon on Mackbook, iPhone or iPad the same thing happens.

Tell us about your home network

· I use Asus ZenWifi AX mesh

Hello @kjetilbergseth,

Thank you for reaching out. Since the issue only occurs when streaming via AirPlay 2 from Roon to the Bluesound Node Nano — while direct Bluesound and ARC playback work fine — this points to an issue in the AirPlay 2 implementation on the Node Nano side rather than Roon itself.

We would recommend contacting Bluesound support directly and letting them know that AirPlay 2 streaming from Roon started glitching after a recent update, while all other playback methods work correctly. The more detail you can provide them (approximate date it started, Roon version, Node Nano firmware version), the better.

Thanks for the reply. You’re probably right that it’s a Bluspund problem, and I think I’ve figured it out. There was a setting in Blusound that I had to turn off when using an external DAC. Seems to work now.

Hello @kjetilbergseth,

Glad you found the culprit! Thanks for sharing the solution - it may help other Node Nano users with a similar setup. Happy listening!
