Roon remote running on my Win10 PC is running fine an can connect to the RasPi and the Apple TV for output, but does not connect to the onboard sound device on my PC.
I use the onboard Realtec Audio Chip on my ASUS Crosshair VII Motherboard, which plays perfectly fine outside Roon (e.g. direct output from the Qobuz app)
If i click on “Settings / Audio” i can see all my output devices for about 5 seconds then they disappear and i cannot select any output device.
Roon remote tries to connect to the systems default output device but after about 5 secs it fails and all the entries disappear…
Instantly clicking on one of the output devices to enable them specificly does also not help
And last but not least: i did not find any solution after thoroughly searching the Knowledge Database / FAQs / Forums
Thank you in advance for your kind help!
Best regards

I disabled the win 10 firewall, just in case, but no change.
I also tried to disable all other devices except the main audio output, but no changes at all
Just out of curiousity i reinstalled the latest drivers once again (so no update effectively, just the same driver as already installed)
Started Roon remote and it worked - BUT:
I rebooted the machine and i had the same problem as in the beginning…
should i access any logfiles to find out what is happening here???
i completely disabled Windows Defender and i also disabled my Acronis Active Protection
So as far as i can tell there should not be any firewall or ransome ware protection active
unfortunately no change
This is what my settings / audio Tab looks like forever after clicking on “enable”:
I also have a Steelseries Arctis 7 wireless headset connected to my PC (via USB dongle)
And also i cannot connect to this device, which is not related to the Realtek drivers (i suppose)
So i think something is blocking Roon remote to connect to ANY audio output device
You can also try to use the System Output (which is Windows very own mixer) or the Realtek ASIO device.
If these two should work, then there’s maybe a problem with WASAPI-drivers (maybe introduced with recent Windows updates).
I uninstalled everything (Audio drivers, Roon, ASUS Sound Manger)
Then i rebooted and reinstalled everything from scratch
BOOM
I was able to connect to the Realtek ASIO interface (which i was NOT before)
Sigh - with computers we are solving problems which we would not have without them
