Tell us what's going on

· Hello, I am running Roon on a Mac Studio with Tahoe 26.5. Yesterday everything was fine. Now, Roon can't find any of my audio devices. I restarted everything: computer (twice) , router, switch, all 3 Roon enable devices. Still, nothing. Please help. Thanks.

Hello @badeabmw

Since you’re running macOS, the behavior you’re seeing is consistent with the newer, stricter Local Network permission controls in the recent macOS releases.

Please try the following steps:

  1. Open macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network
  2. Make sure Roon and Roon Server are both enabled
  3. Even if they are already enabled, please toggle them off and back on
  4. Fully quit Roon Server from the macOS menu bar / task bar
  5. Reboot your Mac
  6. After reboot, launch Roon again and check if the devices is avaliable again.

Once these permissions are refreshed and the system restarted, your audio devices should reappear.

Please let us know if the issue persists after these steps, and we’ll continue from there.
