Note that I also have an ultraRendu and that I use with a Brooklyn and the USB volume work fine there in that combination.
UPDATE: I just tried plugging the Oppo into the ultraRendu and usb volume did not work. I also tried activating usb volume on the Brooklyn with the ultraRendu (set to Hardware) and that also did not work. I am sure these both worked previously with earlier versions of Roon.
Hey @Adeeb – we’ve reached out to Oppo to see about getting a loaner unit so we can do some testing. Obviously USB volume control is working in other configurations, so we need to figure out what’s different about your setup, and what might’ve changed here if this was working before.
I just took a look at the manual, and I wanted to confirm two things.
First, I see this device has a hardware volume knob:
Just to be clear about how this worked previously, is your recollection that Roon would override the volume knob?
I assume the knob isn’t motorized or anything, so say the knob is set to say 90%, and you lower the volume in Roon to 30% and put on your headphones, what would happen if you just slightly touched the knob?
Second, I see this device has a Line Level out which doesn't appear to support volume control -- again, from the manual:
Are you sure you’re not using the Line Level out?
Either way, we’ll let you know what we hear from Oppo. Thanks for your patience here @Adeeb.
