Have been controlling Roon on iPad and on Samsung phone I’m about to turn in the iPad and would like control on a larger device than the phone.
Installed on laptop and Roon app tells me the resolution is not great enough to run Roon. Is this correct or have I done something wrong or is there a fix?
thanks for response I guess I am not computer savvy enough to do this. I have the laptop resolution set to recommended and it is as high as can be set. Have not been able to access “app data” on C drive? Am waiting on phone help from microsoft now.
It looks like Roon is not compatible with Windows 10??? Is that possible? Microsoft technical help spent a lot of time with me and that is their conclusion.
Joe there are many tens of thousands of uses running Roon on Windows 10 so that’s not the issue.
This might be a driver issue as Roon requires version of OpenGL or you might want to look at what Blacjack has said to you about scaling options.
Are you by chance running Windows display at something like 200% ?
I have looked at several different resolutions but, no, not 200. I am not confident that I am typing the codes correctly because the Roon app. simply does not respond after some typing. I am confident that it will run on this laptop but I am not computer savvy enough to understand what to do or how to do it. It sucks being old and slow to understand!
Would you right click on the windows desktop, someplace with no icons visible, and then select “display settings”
In that popup about 4 or so items down it will say your resolution and give you some options.
Would you tell us the options listed?
1920x1200
1280x1024
1280x800
something like that. Select a larger one.
If you have no modes listed, you will probably need to install some video drivers.
1366 x 768 (recommended)
1280 x 720
1024 x 768
800 x 600
I have been on 1366 x 768 as recommended.
When I look in Roon app there is option to run in windows 8 but that does not work at all
It does seem max so I have to look for a different controller. I have been using the iPad that is on loan with my newspaper subscription and am needing to eliminate hat expense. My phone will do until I can figure something else out. Thanks for all the help from the Roon Community!!
Joe I think many of us use our phone’s and/or pcs or macs. But I would suggest more and more of us predominantly use just the phone that is already in our hands. If you’re laptop does not go to the minimum resolution then keep using the phone you have.
You can also look at a 10” Android tablet which can be gotten pretty cheaply these days and work well
You have to run Roon in full screen with only 1366 x 768 resolution. In full screen mode the 768 pixels are just enough height to run Roon without missing content.
