Roon doesn't see local devices on remote PC [Solved - maybe Cisco WebEx]

Core Machine (Operating system/System info/Roon build number)

Ubuntu 20.04, 2016 Falcon Northwest Tiki

Network Details (Including networking gear model/manufacturer and if on WiFi/Ethernet)

Description Of Issue

I’d like to be able to play my music on my laptop. I have a roon client installed on the laptop and it can connect with the core and manage it. For some reason though, I can’t add any audio device on the laptop.

I’ve tried disabling both firewalls and upgrading the realtek drivers. I have a focal arche connected with the latest driver and that isn’t seen by roon either.

Out of the blue I got an option to let the RaatServer.exe through my firewall. I allowed it and now it’s working. One issue to raise is that I did run Cisco Webex on my machine before installing Roon. I think webex makes a mess out of audio devices. The raatserver option only appeared after I had rebooted my machine. So maybe the issue was webex.

Hello @Luke_Miner,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for reaching out! Yes, missing audio devices is often a symptom of an improperly configured firewall.

Have you noticed any further issues since making the firewall changes or is Roon running as expected now?
