Hi, I have been having trouble with airplay. I can not set the volume from the Roon app when playing music to my airplay devices. This problem started after a an update of Roon some months ago. I have tried to create a new database and I have renamed the raat server. None works. Ronn has always been hazel free but not anymore. I not very keen on to pay good money for something that do not work on your end. Sincerly Joakim Bång

Hello @joakim.bang ,

Thanks for reaching out! Can you please clarify the make/model of the affected device, as @AMT mentioned? Are multiple Airplay zones impacted by the issue or is it just one device in particular?

Hi,

All my airplay devices.
2x sonos SL, one sonos Ikea lamp, my cocktail audio x35. Can’t adjust the volume on any of them. Worked just fine up till sometime last autumn.

Best!

@joakim.bang try going into Roon settings → audio and clicking the gear icon next to one of the speakers and click device setup then try activating exclusive mode.

This is what I see.


@joakim.bang my mistake AirPlay devices can’t use Exclusive mode. After you reboot try switching volume control on the device back and forth between fixed volume and device volume.

Still the same!

Hi!
Any progress in resolving my problem?

Regards!

Hi @joakim.bang,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I know you said you did this before but inorder to ensure all of steps are completed lets try a server refresh using the below steps:

  • Create a Backup of your current database
  • Exit out of Roon
  • Navigate to your Roon Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “Roon”
  • Rename the “Roon” folder to “Roon_old”
  • Reinstall the Roon App from our Downloads Page to generate a new Roon folder
  • Verify if the issue persists on a fresh database before restoring the backup

Hi Daniel,

I have done as you requested. The problem persist.

Regards Joakim

Dear Roon,

Please tell me why I should continiue to pay some 150$/year when you do not offer full functionality?

Why can’t you provide an answer/solution to this problem? This is obviously a well known problem to many users of airplay and Roon.

You are about to lose me as a costumer.

Sincerly, Joakim Bång

@daniel has told you that it’s being investigated - and I don’t believe that it’s “a well known problem to many users”, otherwise the forum would be flooded with reports.

There’s clearly an issue, and I can understand that you are frustrated, but it appears to be an issue that requires investigation.

@joakim.bang our team has turned on some more advanced diagnostics on your account. To activate them please restart your server twice.

Any news?

Best!

+1 on news….

@joakim.bang, thank you for reaching out! If you’ve already done the double restart, could you try adjusting the volume in AirPlay once more? Additionally, if you could provide us with the date and time of your attempts, it would greatly assist us in locating the issue within the diagnostics.

Still the same problem!

You were asked by @daniel to provide the date and time of your attempts in order to assist their diagnosis of your issue. Please do this.
