BT headphone connected to iMac. Music plays through BT headphones when the source from the iMac is any of the following native apps: Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify, anything on Safari or other web browser, including from the Tidal or Qobuz web interfaces.
When the source is Roon, music will only play through iMac speakers. I tried the ideas that I saw above, like adding the BT headphones as a source in Roon, but Roon doesn’t recognize them, and I don’t see a place to force that connection.
Even the Qobuz app sees the iMac speakers and the BT headphones as different playback endpoints.
Hello @dcw96161, are you able to play to system output of the mac with Roon and connect system output to the BT headphones without issue?
So we can better assist you, please provide a brief description of your current setup using this link as a guide.
Make sure to describe your network configuration/topology, including any networking hardware currently in use, so we can have a clear understanding of how your devices are communicating.
Hi, I am seeing exactly the same thing. My Mac Pro shows my Bowers & Wilkins PX headphone on the sound button. The Qobuz app also offers them as an output. But Roon does not see them at all in Settings - Audio. Roon offers Defaut Device, CoreAudio - which is the internal speaker, another CoreAudio - which is the external optical output, a further CoreAudio - which is the HDMI monitor speakers and CoreAudio - my webcam microphone (surely this should not appear as an output?). I’ve attached screenshots.
I can play to the headphones if I set Roon to use the Default output and select the Bowers & Wilkins in the Sound button.
