Innuos server showing incorrect audio path after restoring Roon backup (ref#CRDOM6)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· Manually backed up data in Roon Nucleus to a USB thumb drive to transfer data to new Innuos server. After using it to restore backup in the Innuos, there are now two Nucleus servers showing to select, but the second server labeled Nucleus says linux 6.12.8-rt8-innuos-02x and when I select it, it is actually connected via ethernet to the Innuos server. However Audio path shows the original Nucleus server and OS. How can I get the Audio path to show the correct Innuos server?

Tell us about your home network

· 1G Xfinity cable, gateway and TP Link router. Ethernet cable runs directly from router to Innuos and Nucleus servers.

When you restored the backup, it also restored the server name or Ethernet Hostname which would be ‘Nucleus’. Thus after the backup, Roon uses Nucleus to refer to the Roon Server.

You can set the Roon Server name to anything you like (within reason) in Roon Settings → Setup as shown below:

In the screenshot above, my Roon Server Name is simply set to ‘Roon’. You could set it to ‘Innuos’ or something similar.

Thanks Wade. As you noted above in Settings>Setup I had already typed “Innuos” in the Roon Server name box. However, under Settings>General it still shows the Roon Server as “Nucleus”. Worse, under Settings>Audio, the path doesn’t show the Innuos server at all. I’m stumped!
