Hi @Mark_Maddison,

Thanks for reaching out about this issue! Here are a couple of troubleshooting steps to try:

  1. Can you see the OPPO in your router’s list of connected devices? If so, is its IP address on the same subnet as your Roon server?
  2. Can your Windows PC play audio to the OPPO outside of Roon?

Let us know what you find, and we’ll be happy to help from there!

  1. No it does NOT appear in the list.
  2. Yes, Windows PC can play audio to the OPP. I played a CD directly to the OPPO and it worked fine.
  1. Additional. Audio does play from my Windows PC with no problem. Played Foxtel streaming sport ok. Played a music file which is also OK.

Hi @Mark_Maddison

Does this mean that you’re not seeing the OPPO on the network at all? Even on the router configuration?

Can you please try a full reboot (power off, unplug, wait 30s, replug) of your network, OPPO, and Roon Server (in that order)? Does the OPPO then get an IP in the router?

Tried full reboot as suggested but no success.

No, OPPO does not appear on the network at all. Possibly unrelated but also cannot play anything on System Output. My database of Roon tracks can be seen however I cannot play them in either System Output (which shows up) or of course Oppo (which does not show up).

I’m beginning to think OPPO itself may be the problem. It is 8 years old.

Hey @Mark_Maddison,

Thanks for the follow-up! Sorry to hear your issues persist with the system output of your windows, causing you playback issues as well.

Specifically, when playing to the system output, we’re seeing a failure with Roon attempting to synchronize its internal playback clock with the System Output endpoint but failed.

Let’s see if refreshing your RAATServer database on your Windows running Roon Server may help:

You can generate a new RAATServer instance on your device by following these instructions, but please be aware that this will reset your Roon Settings → Audio Tab to factory settings and I would advise making a backup of any custom DSP settings you have:

  • Create a Backup of your current Roon database
  • Exit out of Roon
  • Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location
  • Find the folder that says “RAATServer”
  • Rename the “RAATServer” folder to “RAATServer_old”
  • Restart the Roon App to generate a new RAATServer folder

Let us know if the allows playback! :raised_hands:

Hi. I’m unable to modify the RAATServer file.

I can’t see where the file or folder is open in another program…

Hi Again. As I can’t seem to refresh the RAATServer is there any purpose in trying something? What would happen if I could just delete that folder?

I have been planning to eventually purchase an Eversolo DMP to replace the Oppo in the next year or so. It is ROON ready and so I would definitely continue my subscription. Maybe I can bring that purchase forward. If I do purchase the Eversolo should I try to clean up the ROON files and folders on my PC? If I wipe the slate clean with ROON on my PC will it all be re-established when I connect ROON to the Eversolo. I do have my ROON database backed up.

Hi @Mark_Maddison,

Based on your screenshot, Roon is likely still running, and therefore you’re unable to edit the folder. Make sure you’ve closed all instances of Roon and Roon Server on the machine before attempting to rename the folder.

I also notice you have NordVPN running on your Windows, which could also be playing a role in your issue. VPNs fall outside the scope of support, so please completely disable the VPN and let me know if you’re able to get your OPPO detected.

We’ll be on standby for your results! :raised_hands:

Hi Is it possible for you to see the path where Roon is still running? If you can show me that then I may be able to turn it off. Thanks.

@Mark_Maddison can you open Windows’ Task Manager and manually stop all Roon and RAAT applications and then re-attempt @benjamin’s recommended procedures?

Hi @Mark_Maddison,

As @Robert_F has mentioned, you can check your Windows Task manager to see if Roon Server is still running.

You can also:

  • Look in the system tray (bottom-right corner of your screen).
  • If Roon Server is running, you should see the Roon icon.
  • Right-click the icon to access options or confirm it’s active.

You can also:

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Under the Processes tab, look for:
  • RoonServer.exe

If any of these are listed and running, your Roon Server is active.

I will check all that out and let you know.
Thanks.

Great, we’ll be on the lookout for your response!

Hi Progress. Thank you.
Have now been able to rename RAATServer to RAATServer_old and these messages come up.

Can I now select a different Roon Server, which will delete the old one?


Hi @Mark_Maddison,
Yes, you can select a different Roon Server, and doing so will automatically generate a new RAATServer instance. Let us know if you run into any trouble—we’re here to help!

Hi Daniel and the Support Team

Problem is solved. Don’t know what actually caused the Oppo to be lost but now I know how to get it (or any device) back again. Thank you so much for all your help!
