Description Of Issue

Two major issues both on the Mac and the PC:

  1. Even though enabled, the local audio devices can not be connected to, are not listed on the zone list. Tried enabling all available devices (default system out, on board sound card, wasapi drivers) and the result is the same. Both devices only see the Kef LS50WII and RoonBridge device on the zone list. They can’t see even local devices.

  2. The Mac and the PC can connect to the Kef and teh roon Bridge PC but there is a behavior problem: You are able so start playing but after that the controls don’t work and time cursor does not advance. You can choose another song to play but again can’t stop from the controls, basically the controls are useless.

Need you help!

Thanks

Hi @Yaman_Basa

Can you share some screenshots of issue #1 showing the zones enabled but not in the zone picker?

For issue number 2, is there any change if you reboot all devices?

Hi Dylan,

After a quite few reboots and a Windows update, everything seems normal now.

I’ll let you know if something goes south again.

Thanks a lot and all the best

Yaman
