Description Of Issue
System has been basically stable ever since I started with Roon. Occasional minor issues, only the kind of thing reported elsewhere that restart of Roon app clears.
The subject of this support call is that the iMac is not recognised by Roon. The app runs on it fine but the iMac itself is not in the audio devices, even on the iMac itself. All other devices - Surface desktop and notebook, MacBook, Sony AV, microRendu are all fine. What happens is that the iMac reports the core and the devices attached to it as being “this computer”, which it isn’t of course. Have rebooted everything, ensure all is up to date OS and relevant software. On the iMac all other software recognise that the EX-8 is connected to it via optical and USB and if I connect other devices they too are recognised. That includes System Preferences, TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, Zoom and so on. All work fine. Is only Roon on the iMac that cannot see either the iMac on which it is running, or the devices connected to it. Roon on the iMac recognises devices on ethernet and devices connected to other computers - the core MacMini (jeepers it does not sound anything like the SMG i7) is also connected to the QX-5 via Cardas USB cable and that is recognised from Roon / iMac.
Can share screenshots to show how it looks.
