Description of Issue

When I turn off the power from a bluetooth headset (OpenComm by Shokz), Roon will pause playback on the Cambridge Audio Evo 150 (the selected device on the Roon Remote running on the Mac).

There should be no reason to pause playback: the bluetooth headset is not being used to listen to Roon.

Hi @Kim ,

Thanks for the report here and apologies for the slow response. If you try to use the pause button on the headset when you have the Cambridge zone selected in Roon, does that also cause the playback to stop?

It’s possible that the headset itself sends a pause command to your Mac when powering off, and then the Mac forwards this to the currently active zone.

If you could also please let us know the time + date + track when you are able to reproduce the issue, we may be able to gather more details via remote logging. Thanks!
