Description Of Issue

My Roon Server sees all Audio Accesories and discover properly my NAD HiFi , Apple TV, but Apple Homepod in Bedroom is discovered as AudioAccessory 1,1. Isn’t Homepod Roon Tested and therefore is not automatically detected as Apple Device?

[CrystalGipsy (Resisting the flow!)]

It should be detected as an Airplay device in other network devices section of the Audio setup page but it’s not Roon Tested. It does not support Airplay 2 as there is no code to do this right now across all platforms, it only supported from iOS devices. I think I remember seeing others report this showing up like this to.

Mine shows as below and is used without issue.

Hi @Slawek_Kumka,

The Homepod is not a Roon Tested device, but it should show up in Roon. Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

[Slawek_Kumka (Slawek)]

Hi,
It shows up. I can stream music to it without issue. I was just wondering if it would have proper settings and icon in Roon.
I named it Homepod manually, but icon is just a seaker.
You know, I am a perfectionisc
It looks like this in Audio:

but on Signal path it looks weird:

@Slawek_Kumka

I named it Homepod manually, but icon is just a speaker.

Are you aware that the default icon can be changed via the zone settings pop-up screen?

Access it by right clicking / long press on the volume icon a then select the cog icon.

Ha!
I did not realize it!
Thank you!
