MacOS Roon connecting to local SMSL DAC/AMP, but same happens when controlling BluSound network player or other devices. Doesn’t seem to matter what endpoint is active.
Number of Tracks in Library
40,000 tracks
Description of Issue
MacOS Roon plays “fine” when adding items to queue. When either:
The queue is empty and the Roon continues playing “recommended” tracks, OR
when the queue is empty and the Roon app “sits” in the background doing nothing for a few hours
The app beings to beachball for 30-60 seconds, requiring a force-quit of the Roon application. When restarting, acts as normal until 1 or 2 above happen again. The only solution seems to be to play music for a short period and then quit the app.
Not to solution, but seems like a memory leak or “checking” process that is unchecked forcing high resources until killed. I’
More playing with this. Turns out it’s really when Roon continues playing recommended tracks in the background. When this process happens and then Roon is brought back to the foreground, the application beachballs for upwards of a minute. Whatever UI/logic updates are occurring on the foreground action need to be looked at.
Open Roon on the other PC you wish to try as the Core
Roon Settings → General
Disconnect
On the “Choose your Core” screen, press “Use this PC”
If asked to Unauthorize, you can go ahead and do so. You are limited to one active Roon Core at a time but you are free to switch between them as often as you’d like
Verify if the same behavior occurs on the different PC
