HDMI connection problem. I have a ROON NUCLEUS ONE server and a NAIM UNITI ATOM network music player, both connected by cable to the HDMI sockets. When selecting an audio device in the ROON application settings I select the Nucleus One HDMI Output from the available list, then identify the device from the list as a Naim Unti Atom. This device becomes available when I select the audio output of the ROON App player, I select it and press the PLAY icon. The process of music playback starts, but there is NO sound on the NAIM UNITI ATOM output device.
On the NAIM UNITI ATOM I select the HDMI audio input, there is a pause of 2 seconds and then the message ‘NO INPUT SIGNAL’ appears on the NAIM UNITI ATOM display.
What am I doing wrong ? Help me.
Describe your network setup
Since in my case there is a direct connection via HDMI, network issues are not so important. Although if I select the network sound source NAIM UNITI ATOM, there is sound, which indicates that there are no problems with the local network.

I have MAC OS. Yes, I have this option activated. And in the list of available audio devices this output is renamed, now it is called HDMI - NAIM ATOM. I forgot to write that my media box is located on a SAMSUNG 8 TB SSD, which is mounted in the NUCLEUS ONE.
Dear ROON specialists ! I have checked many variants of connection to HDMI input of NAIM UNITI ATOM , - from other sources everything works normally ! There is only one option - there is no signal from HDMI output of ROON NUCLEUS ONE ! Please give me clear instructions on how to activate the output signal from the HDMI output of the ROON ONE music server.
If I connect to NAIM UNITI ATOM via network local connection, the music plays, but as soon as I select the HDMI audio output in the ROON app, the sound is gone!
What is the correct way to activate the HDMI output from the ROON NUCLEUS ONE? Please note that I activated the ‘Nucleus One HDMI Output’ audio output in the ROON app settings in the MAC OS environment, which I then changed to ‘Nucleus One HDMI Output’. which I then changed to ‘HDMI NAIM UNITI ATOM’.
Thanks for the advice ! I will know now. And one more question - will the HDMI connection of ROON NUCLEUS ONE with MSB PREMIER music server work via a special module - MSB TECHNOLOGY Universal I2S Input HDMI Modul ?
And as @Suedkiez has mentioned, the Atom is Roon Ready, which will absolutely be the best way to stream audio to it!
The HDMI output on the Roon Nucleus One is designed primarily for multichannel PCM audio and may not be compatible with proprietary I2S implementations - if MSB has confirmed that their Universal I2S Input supports standard HDMI audio input (rather than just I2S over HDMI), it might work—but I’d recommend checking directly with MSB to ensure compatibility.
Yes, thanks for the advice, I will check with MSB. Can you please tell me if there are any hardware encoders that can be used to convert the HDMI output signal of the ROON NUCLEUS ONE music server into an HDMI ARC signal for the NAIM UNITI ATOM?
