Description of Issue

Hello,
I am a ROON newbie and managed to install and run ROON successfully. Yet, using my Lumin mini as end point via LAN, the signal chain in ROON indicates that I use the Lumin mini via airplay (see screenshot below). From my understanding this is not the favourable way. I found no way to modify the airplay-streaming mode. Can anybody point me to any information on how to change this or to understand if I am chasing ghosts ?

Best regards
Manfred

What do you have enabled in your settings: audio device?
Can you post a screenshot of what you see in audio device page?

Thought so.
You need to disable the airplay lumin bottom right.
Then enable the Ethernet lumin mini under Roon Ready
You should be set then

Thanks, found a solution. When omitting the second switch, a second LUMIN device appears. If I choose this one, transport is being displayed as running native.
Thanks for looking into this anyway…

You may be able to still use the Netgear switch if you disable IGMP snooping: Default IGMP settings may affect multicast streams on NETGEAR Web Managed Plus Switches | Answer | NETGEAR Support

IGMP snooping, at least as implemented by some Netgear managed switches, is not friendly to Roon, which uses unrestricted multicast to discover remotes and endpoints.
