Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon? · None of the above quite fits None of the above quite fits · None of these quite match Tell us what's going on · I have been plagued with dropouts for years, but it’s definitely got worse in recent weeks. My Roon Core was originally on my Innuos Zenith Mk.3 a…

Were they not grouped till yesterday? Having them grouped could manifest one’s issue onto the other unit.

The Netgear switches both 8 and 5 port unmanaged have been used with Roon since 2015 and never an issue. So, I would recommend those since I’ve had over a decade of use with them and Roon.

They have been grouped for years. At Roon’s suggestion above, I specifically ungrouped them on Monday to see if/how it affected the situation. Need to wait for a few days to see how it pans out.

I would also turn off “Green Tech “, also called Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). In the past many audio device vendors seem to recommend this.

Make roon play one playlist to all your endpoints at once. If they all drop out at the same time, the problem is with something they all share: the computer, a NAS that roon is reading from, a particular router that’s upstream from all of the endpoints, etc. If some but not all have dropouts at the…

[image] ezman: We don’t have any information about the RAAT protocol to know if it’s end-to-end like TCP or multicast like UDP. TCP since 2017: [image] Roon 1.3 (Build 234) Is Live! Today’s release of the core includes a re-design of RAAT’s audio streaming protocol that uses TCP instead o…

Excellent info, thanks. This means that roon server uses at least one socket per endpoint, for audio, instead of using one UDP multicast channel that shares one stream to all endpoints. So roon sends the same audio stream n times, where n is the number of endpoints. It would be easier to reason abo…

I have same recurring problems. I’m not especially computer literate. Could the Roon servers be the problem?

I have similar problems… Can I suggest ROON focuses research and development on sorting these matters that really downgrade end-user experience, rather than developing projects such as ARC which I personally am not interested in and cannot see the point of… :frowning:

I had similar ongoing for around 6 months and tried EVERYTHING with no change turns out it was my ISP something to do with their local cache settings. I was locked in a contract so couldn’t change ISP so had to deal with the usual denial etc. after 10 emails and no results I reached out to social m…
