Roon doesn’t see client PC or USB connected devices plugged in; only network connected devices. No option to manually add device. Outside of Roon, each USB device is functioning as expected. Just not able to use with Roon.
Not 100% sure; however, I think this occurred following PC upgrade to Win11/Roon 1.8/build 884.
Roon manages audio devices in a separate program from the main Roon app, for a number of reasons. Roon communicates with the audio program using networking mechanisms. It’s a bit silly that firewalls are able to interrupt this, but they can do so when misconfigured.
I am not personally familiar with McAfee, but there is probably a way to configure it so that it doesn’t interfere with this communication.
It appears that the firewall just needed to be cycled off/on. Coming back this evening (with the firewall restored) and a power-off/on cycle between, everything is connecting as expected. No manual firewall adjustments were needed.
Thanks again, you guys – that was just what I needed.
Roon discovery is probably blocked but now that things are discovered you can enable the fw again (at least for a while). I don’t like, for machines where I have enabled a fw, to just shut it off. So, good you’re able to turn it on now and things still work without having to reconfigure things. I suspect at some point in the future you’ll need to cycle again.
