Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· Roon will not recognise my Studio Display speakers. I have searched your knowledge base and forum, but without success. I have tried all the solutions proposed, and everything is up to date. System is Mac Studio M1Max / Tahoe 26.3.1 / Roon OS 2.64. Roon Server on MacMini M3 / Roon OS 2.64 / Mac OS Tahoe 26.3.1. If I can't get this to work (and it used to do so perfectly well) then I will need to cancel my Roon subscription.

Tell us about your home network

· All hard wired ethernet cable

I know this contribution isn’t a solution to your problem, but I can tell you that it should work. In my case, I see the Studio Display lsp in Settings → Audio… (Mac Studio M1 / ​​Latest Tahoe)

Hi @Nicholas_Burke,

Thanks for writing in and for taking the time to share your report!

Can you share the specific name of the display speakers your attempting to connect? How are they connected to your server?

Since you’re running macOS, the behavior you’re seeing is consistent with the newer, stricter Local Network permission controls in the recent macOS releases.

Please try the following steps:

  1. Open macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network
  2. Make sure Roon and Roon Server are both enabled
  3. Even if they are already enabled, please toggle them off and back on
  4. Fully quit Roon Server from the macOS menu bar / task bar
  5. Reboot your Mac
  6. After reboot, launch Roon again and check if the devices are available again.

Once these permissions are refreshed and the system restarted, your audio devices should reappear.

Please let us know if the issue persists after these steps, and we’ll continue from there. :folded_hands:
