Affected Product Roon Roon Issue Category Interface & Usability Description of Issue When I try to use roon app to control sonos I get a message that roon lost control of audio device.

It just occurred to me, after having just initiated this post re Roon and Sonos, that my problems using Roon with Sonos commenced simultaneous with the announcement that Roon was purchased by Harman. Is Sonos still Roon ready? The Roon team needs to explain what changes have occurred as a result o…

Hi Brad just a fellow Roon and Sonos user. No changes have occurred to Roon and Sonos has never been Roon Ready. Sonos has the ability to work with Sonos through SononosNet or Airplay (more modern devices). You will find many threads relating to issues like this and one recommendation is to only h…

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my Sonos Move using with Roon. It just started happening within the last week. Before that it works great for the last several months. I bought it in the spring and used it all summer. Trying to use it with a Roon and I get “lost control of audio device”…

To Michael, if you google sonos roon ready it appears that it is supported (to some degree). To both, miraculously, Roon started playing on my Sonos this afternoon. Go figure. The Roon wizard apparently made some adjustments. I do wonder whether the Harman acquistition, which may be viewed as a t…

Hi Brad I am glad to hear it is working again and this is not that uncommon for Roon/Sonos I don’t think Harman/Roon can afford to ignore the Sonos devices (though Roon have certainly tried to ignore issues in the past) as they are easily the biggest devices on the market. I am almost 5 years into…

I just signed up for a year of Roon. The recent sale and some early problems with Sonos scared me off from a lifetime membership. Shortly before I subscribed, the Sonos link magically began working. I only had one blip recently due I think to one Sonos speaker dropping off. I reconnected it through…

Found a roon thread from 2017 saying that with RAAT you should enable network “flow control” for endpoint to circumvent certain network related issues. So, for a managed switch or router you may check this.

Roon do not generally recommend managed switches and suggest good old fashioned dumb switches in their places

That’s right. But in case flow control is turned off it should be turned on according to roon.

Understood, I took my managed switches out and I replaced them with simple Netgear switches. I rebuilt my network and Sonos setup several times with different Roon and Sonos issues and thankfully it is pretty much perfect now :grin:
