Lyrics sync display issue on iPhone Roon ARC

Roon Software Discussion ARC
1

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with lyrics synchronization on Roon ARC for iPhone.
• The time-synced lyrics are generally aligned with the music.
• However, as the song progresses, the displayed lyrics keep shifting upward.
• By the end of the track, the lyrics “bounce” or jitter instead of staying smoothly aligned.

This behavior makes it difficult to follow the lyrics toward the end of songs.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a known bug, or should I provide logs to help reproduce the problem?

Thanks in advance for your support!

You posted that you had this issue in the Early Access category of the forum. Are you using an EA build or a Production build?

I installed Roon ARC from the App Store, so I believe I am using the Production build.

I am not aware of any separate way to download or install an Early Access build.

Right, so as indicated in the other thread that I referenced, this is a known issue and a ticket has been raised with the Development team. If they require logs, they will contact you.

Thank you for the clarification and for letting me know that this is already a known issue. I appreciate your support.

If you use Early Access on the server, you should use it also for all remotes. Or use production builds for server and all remotes. Don’t mix release tracks between EA and production as this leads to issues.

How to install Early Access on phones/tablets (for regular Roon and for ARC) is explained on the Early Access help page:

I’m a user just like you, not a member of Roon Labs staff, so I have no information to share on the state of this issue ticket.
