Roon Remote is losing command of ROCK after first play

I just built my ROCK with 16gb RAM and 250 gb ssd. It’s hardwired to my network. Unfortunately my endpoints are not Roon Ready so I’m using chrome cast for all. The ROCK functions as expected however after selecting first song the ROCK plays but the remote loses connectivity and has to be restarted before it recognizes the ROCK again. Anyone seen this behavior?

It would be easier if you told what your remote is, and how everything is connected?
