Hi all, I recently switched from running Roon Server on Windows 11 to running it on a Ubuntu. It’s still on the same NUC device (nuc11atkc4).
Generally it seems to be more performant and I am happy with it. However, I am having issues playing a 16/44 1ch m4a file that is AAC. It’s a file from the mobile phone audio recorder.
I am trying to stream it to an Airplay endpoint (Sonos Roam). I tried other Airplay devices and it’s the same story (incl. a Denon AVR via Airplay).
The same file plays correctly via Roon ARC to my Android Phone. It was also playing when the server was Windows (however I am unsure if that was before or after Airplay 2 update), so I would guess it’s some issue between Roon on Linux and Airplay (2?) and the fact that it’s a 16/44 1ch AAC file?
I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and have ffmpeg installed on the system.
Here are the logs:
