Not really a complaint but I updated to GG a couple of weeks ago and have the thing where Roon can’t find a couple of endpoints. As I use Roon/HQPlayer on the two systems I use most and HQP does see the endpoints I haven’t spent any time troubleshooting yet. But the problem is there for me. I’ll look into trying the workaround fix at some point.
But this has been a problem since Sequoia anyway. The network permission workarounds (disabling, reenabling) should help
I didn’t know some people had problems with Sequoia. I didn’t. At any rate, not high on my list of things to work on. I’ll get to it some day.
Apple keeps tightening up security and locking stuff down. You have to jump through hoops to get things to work.
Once you find and learn where all the hoops are nested in the settings and what they do, it becomes a bit easier. Lots of folder and network access permissions.
A lot of the settings that need fiddling with are in the Privacy & Security area. Quick way to get to it is right click on the settings icon in the dock when settings is not running. It brings up a nice menu to quick go where you want. (Hopefully it’s still that way macOS 27).
I never knew! ![]()
How did I not know this? No one beats Apple in creating these simple yet super useful features and not tell anyone about it. I want a refund of the time I spent hunting up and down that settings panel. Ugh.
And thank you!
27.2 didn’t fix the problems with the missing endpoints for me. I use Roon/HQPlayer on my main and headphone systems which don’t have any problems. The other endpoints are only available through AirPlay. My office system is set up with an ultraRendu and the House with a microRendu so if I had to I could switch them over to AirPlay and use them that way. However Roon doesn’t see either one of them through Ethernet although it used to. At some point I’ll go ahead and try the workaround but for now I don’t care. Just letting you know my server on 27.2 has the problem. Seems like plenty of people here don’t have any problems with Golden Gate so there’s that to consider.
Don’t go holding the options key and right click on things then ![]()
This doesn’t seem right… Could you file a support ticket and maybe we can get some logs. Right now, I’m expecting maybe issues in airplay before the 2.75 EA version.
Hi Stephen,
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Since you mentioned AirPlay I went ahead and switched the ultraRendu over to it and everything worked as expected. That isn’t the way I’d use it long term but it would do in a pinch until I got around to looking into the issue. As for filing a Support Ticket, isn’t there some standard fix for the people with missing endpoints? When Golden Gate first came out there was a fixed banner at the top of the page with what to do. That isn’t still a valid solution?
There are the typical troubling shooting actions like powering off devices and checking network settings but to dive in deep requires logfile analysis from Roon support team.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for getting back to me. The missing endpoints aren’t a problem that’s high on my list right now but both you and Stephen have asked me to contact the Support Team about this so when I get a chance I’ll go ahead and do that. In the meantime, isn’t there something in here that would solve the issue as well?
The Check Roon’s Local Network Permission is the typical solution, this has occasionally been necessary since macOS Sequoia.
Sorry, too many thoughts at once ![]()
If you are on the latest (2.74.x) release you should be able to see the endpoints just fine. If you aren’t seeing them then I’m worried there is a different issue maybe?
I was only mentioning that airplay is essentially re-written in the upcoming 2.75 EA release so if you have had airplay issues as well they should hopefully not only be resolve (mostly in 2.74 release), but improved with the new 2.75 EA coming out.
No luck with that, everything seems to be set correctly. Next I’m gong to try Carl’s suggestion.
No problems with AirPlay at this point. Next up to do a Network check using Terminal that Carl has suggested.
Did it help?
The instructions do not say that you should copy/paste that line. They say (my additional bolding):
Find Your Network Address
Open Terminal. You can find it under Applications > Utilities, or press Command + Space and search for Terminal.
Copy and paste the command below, then press Return. This command only checks your network settings and won’t change anything:
ifconfig | grep "inet " | grep -v 127.0.0.1Look for a line similar to this [in the output of the above command!]:
inet 192.168.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255Find the address immediately after
inet. Change the last number to 0 and add /24. For example, 192.168.1.42 becomes 192.168.1.0/24.
If you see a netmask other than 0xffffff00, please contact Technical Support with the Terminal output instead of continuing.
Apply the Workaround
The following steps change a network setting for your entire Mac, not just Roon. The change is reversible using the steps below.
Copy and paste each command below into Terminal, one at a time. Replace 192.168.1.0/24 with the address you found above. Do not change 224.0.0.0/4.
sudo defaults write com.apple.network.local-network AllowedEthernetLocalNetworkAddresses -array "192.168.1.0/24" "224.0.0.0/4"sudo defaults write com.apple.network.local-network AllowedWiFiLocalNetworkAddresses -array "192.168.1.0/24" "224.0.0.0/4"Terminal will ask for your Mac password. You won’t see anything appear while you type your password. This is normal. Press Return when you’re done.
Run both commands, even if you only use Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Restart your Mac.
Open Roon and check Settings > Audio to see if your devices are back.
And then it continues with
Check That the Workaround Was Applied
Copy and paste the following command into Terminal and press Return. It only checks the setting and won’t make any changes.
defaults read com.apple.network.local-networkYou should see your network address and 224.0.0.0/4 listed for both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
Undo the Workaround
If you need to remove the workaround later, run these two commands in Terminal:
sudo defaults delete com.apple.network.local-network AllowedEthernetLocalNetworkAddressessudo defaults delete com.apple.network.local-network AllowedWiFiLocalNetworkAddressesRestart your Mac after running them.
