Does the device play audio from another source when using the same connection?

· The device has no problems with another audio source

Have you checked that Roon is whitelisted in any firewalls?

Since you are using a network connection to the device, please ensure that your RoonServer is on the same subnet as the device

Do you have a complex network setup?

Try to disable any additional networking interfaces on your RoonServer machine.

Check to make sure RoonReady mode is selected on the device.

Describe the issue

Having come back from a week's vacation, Roon no longer sees my WiiM Ultra - or any other networked endpoints (e.g. Ropieee)

Describe your network setup

BT WholeHone wifi disks all connected by ethernet cables to my PlusNet Broadband router. I have checked the wholesome setup and both the Roon server (on a Mac mini) and the WiiM ultra connect to the same BT disc and thence to the Plusnet Router over ethernet

Hello @Alister_Sibbald ,

This sounds like it could be a firewall or local network access issue. Can you please navigate to macOS System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network , and make sure Roon is allowed. If it is already enabled, toggle it off and on again. Then reboot your Mac, and see if the same issue persists. Also, please try to reboot your Mac, Network and Endpoints if you have not yet done so.

That fixed it - didn’t even have to reboot. Thanks very much!
