My Roon is all screwed up - no connection between whaat is playing and what the software shows - Im trying to uninstall and start over but it wont even let me uninstall Help!!!
Hmm, you rebooted everything?
You are sure you are looking at the right zone?
We need a bit more to go on if we are going to help
Where is Core running, Mac, PC, Nucleus, NUC?
What do you mean it won’t let you uninstall?
Need a lot more info.

This was happening to me (although at a less severe description)… found network issues with the Wifi between remote and Core. Cleaned the Wifi and all sanity returned.

Are you maybe in another zone with your remote than the zone you are listening to?
I am running on a PC. I think I have the right zone because I can select i and roon plays, it’s just that what it plays has nothing to do with what music I try to select. it seems to be in radio mode where it just keeps playing random selections. When I go into windows control panel where you can uninstal software and try to uninstall Roon it tells me I can’t because a version of Roon is running. But then I use task manager to see what is running and it tells me nothing is running. I hope this makes it clearer
What do you mean by cleaned the wi-fi?
Hi @Bob_Mueller,
Have you made sure that you have selected the correct Audio Zone prior to starting playback?
You can perform a manual reinstall of Roon by using these instructions:
- Make a Backup of your current Roon Database
- Exit out of Roon
- Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location
- Find the folder that says “Roon”
- Rename the “Roon” folder to “Roon_old”
- Reinstall the Roon App from our Downloads Page to generate a new Roon folder
It can mean different things once I identify the problem. I have 3 APs in my house. After troubleshooting I identified that the channels a couple of them were on got congested. I don’t know which of my neighbors installed something new but there was a visual increase in retries and errors across the wireless network.
So, this particular “cleaning” was running a site evaluation (embedded in the Unifi APs) to identify channel congestion. I then moved the APs to less congested channels. Stats returned to “normal” levels and my Roon issues went away. I meant to write this up as I think it would be helpful. I’ve just not got around to it. It does help using gear which provides this capability but the same thing can be done with a mobile phone and Wifi analyzer software.

Hi have you inadvertently switch on shuffle mode?
Take a look on the queue screen, if the shuffle icon is blue it active.
I’ve been told by others that the Ubiquiti evaluation capability is a bit flaky. You may want to check the suggestions and make sure they make sense. I live on a big chunk of land, so I haven’t had a need to try it.

They are a reference but, yes, not as robust as some of the other brands. I evaluate the data myself and set manually. Sometimes I will re-verify with a second app. There is a ton of congestion in my area. One of the Comcast modems from a neighbor actually has a stronger signal in part of my house than my own network. It’s a bit crazy. My network, actually tested, does not extend much beyond the sidewalk. One neighbor is close enough I’m sure they have a strong signal on half their house but I try to limit my pollution in as many directions as possible.
