Roon doesn't see local audio devices (Windows 10, Realtek, Asus)

Here are several reports of the same problem:




It looks like Roon is not compatible with recent Asus motherboards and vendor’s Realtek drivers.

Possible solutions:

  1. Removing RAATServer folder before starting Roon. Every time. Default folder location is: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\RAATServer (need to turn on showing hidden folders in explorer options).
  2. Switching off Realtek device in audio section in Device Manager (press Win + X).
  3. Uninstall Realtek driver.
  4. Keeping System Output not enabled in Roon settings (works for me yet, but I did some manipulations before - at least switched off/on Realtek device and uninstalled some asus software).
