· My two WiiM Sound Lite Speakers are set up as a stereo pair and work well,together playing music from other WiFi services EXCEPT Roon. Roon only plays through one speaker. Is there a way to tell Roon that these two devices are running as a stereo pair?

Giles has this right, and that is the correct link. WiiM’s own team confirmed it on their forum in June: Roon cannot currently stream to a WiiM Stereo Pair. They said they are developing support for Roon playback to WiiM multi-room and grouped devices, and that once it lands Roon will stream to a Stereo Pair directly. That work sits with WiiM rather than with us.
In the meantime you can get stereo out of both speakers, at the cost of WiiM’s own pairing:
In the WiiM app, please un-pair the two speakers so each one appears on the network by itself.
In Roon, go to Settings > Audio and enable both.
Group the two zones together in Roon.
Open the group’s DSP settings and use Speaker setup to assign one speaker to the left channel and the other to the right.
Roon then handles the stereo split instead of WiiM.
Worth knowing before you decide: while they are un-paired you lose WiiM’s pairing features, and per that same post their unified room correction and EQ for Stereo Pairs is still in development anyway.
