Pi Zero 2 W wont show in Roon

Hi,

My Pi wont show in Roon but if I enable airplay it becomes visible (but wont play). I have tried the reinstall roon bridge option and rebooted my core and Pi several times.

I am using ethernet but when i remote the ethernet it wont connect ti WiFi.

I have switched to the beta to see if my issue is resolved but not joy.

Thanks

Just a guess but good place to start…

With USB DAC Roon won’t show an endpoint until the DAC is recognized on the USB interface (and RoPieee is configured for USB DAC). Have you tried rebooting the DAC? Or Powering on and cabling the DAC and then rebooting the Pi? Some DACs are finicky with boot order so try all combinations.

AirPlay doesn’t care if you have a DAC connected.

Thats some good advice though I was aware and have a dragonfly connected. No cables or settings to change as its a simple device that was worked a treat on Pi4s.

This is my first time using a Zero though I dont see why it wouldn’t support it.

Usb audio is set in the settings.

Hi Paul,

Your logs show no USB DAC attached (and powered on), hence the ‘no show’ in Roon.
Can you try cables etc? Oh duh. Obviously no cables included when using a Dragonfly, but something is wrong with the connection and/or device.

Thanks

What are you using as a PSU on the 2W? My understanding is the 2W won’t limit current to the USB devices but it won’t feed them power if it means sacrificing itself so… you do need plenty of input power to power peripherals.

Also, the 2 has micro-usb… are you sure you’ve got a good cable to the DAC? This kind of connection can be tricky.

Hi, the dragonfly has a status led that lights up when it’s powered and it’s currently on. I will try another otg cable and report back.

I have attached a usb hub to where the dragonfly was so i can use both an ethernet adapter and the dragonfly. The dragonfly is still powered and the pi is visible on my network.

The power supply being used is the official usb C power supply (via micro to C adapter).

From the below photo you can see its visible as the shairport option shows but no roon ready.

Once this is resolved I still have issues getting it to join my WiFi.

I appreciate the help guys.

Forget about Shairport. Shairport shows up, no matter if there’s no real audio device.

That works differently for Roon: no audio device, no show in Roon.

I appreciate that but the reason I said that option was showing up was just evidence to show it had a network connection.

Would you suggest a reinstall?

This could be unrelated but I just had an update.

My version number hasnt changed and the issue persists.

Error remains the same: the device gives an error on the USB connection.
