Roon 2.0 Sonos stop playing after few seconds [Roon Investigating]

Description of Issue

Music to all of my Sonos devices stop after few seconds.
Naim NDX2 zone works without these problems.
With Roon 1.8 I don’t have these issues.
The Remote App show show following error ar the bottom.
I can start via play button again and the music play one more 4-5 sec cycle.

Reboot my core and firewall disable didn’t resolve the problem.

I reboot all devices, roon core and sonos with no result :frowning:

But I disabled the ufw firewall and I must correct myself.
Without firewall the sonos devices play music.

I searched the hole www and didn’t find the necessary port config for roon > sonos communication.

I added all ports from the sonos documentation and all ports I found from roon documentation:

Please let me know the missing config to enable my ufw.

No other user with this problem?

Dear Roon Support,
please help me and let me know the ports wich used by roon to play music to my sonos devices.

Did you check the ufw log? That will tell you exactly which ports/IPs are being blocked.

Yes I did.
After stop, there are always different ports.
I manually add port by port from the log to the rules - with no result.
I also searched the roon community forum and didn’t find the necessary ports / ports used by roon.
Tried also the ports from sonos documentation.

sudo ufw allow 5353/udo comment sonos
sudo ufw allow 50313/udp comment sonos

is this correct?

If it was a firewall issue it’s more likely you wouldn’t be able to start playing audio rather than stopping after a few seconds.

But with disabled firewall the music didn’t stop

If you need to see what ports are used, disable the firewall and then run a packet capture (tcpdump) on the core. Open that in wireshark and you can see which ports are being opened to the sonos endpoints.

then use those for the rules.

If there are too many ports involved, just specify IPs and protocol.

I don’t have enough context to answer that.

What devices are 192.168.178.1/144/191 (I’m assuming .11 is your ubuntu core?).

Plus, 5353 only shows up as a source port while 50313 only shows up as a destination port but your syntax appears to be the same for both (directionality matters). It would help to see your exact syntax when entering these rules. Also, what about port 45708?

Hi,
thanks for your help.
Please note: I am not a linux professional.

roon (ubuntu) core ip is: 192.168.178.11
router ip is: 192.168.178.1
sonos devices: 192.168.178.191/192/193

Ok, so try something like:

sudo ufw allow proto udp from 192.168.178.191 to any port 50313
sudo ufw allow proto udp from 192.168.178.192 to any port 50313
sudo ufw allow proto udp from 192.168.178.193 to any port 50313

If 50313 changes you will have to update those rules with a range. If it continues to change or the range is all over the place then don’t define any ports.

Is 192.168.178.144 not a Sonos device? It is clearly trying to hit the same port (50313) on your Core as .191.

port 50313 is more than likely the random high ephemeral port used as the source port.

192.168.178.144 is my Naim NDX2 streamer

I know the list from sonos an added rules for all ports from the list…

Then the OP can adjust the rules accordingly (define a source port (5353) instead of a destination port) or omit ports entirely. It all depends on how locked down the OP wants things.

I will try it again but currently I’m out for vacation
