Describe the issue
Roon Server no longer starts after your latest update (on macOS)
After installing the latest Roon software update on my Intel Mac mini (running macOS Monterey), Roon Server no longer starts.
Symptoms:
Roon application launches normally.
RAATServer starts and remains running.
RoonServer never starts.
The Roon Server status/menu bar icon is completely missing.
None of my Roon Remotes can find or connect to the Core.
My setup:
Intel Mac mini running the Roon Core.
macOS Monterey.
Synology DS1825+ used only as music storage (the Core is NOT running on the NAS).
Troubleshooting already performed:
Restarted the Mac mini.
Restarted the Synology NAS.
Restarted the entire network.
Reinstalled the Roon application.
Verified in Activity Monitor and with ps aux | grep -i Roon that only the following processes are running:
Roon
RAATServer
There is no RoonServer process running at any time.
The problem started immediately after installing the latest Roon update. Prior to the update, the system had been operating normally for months without any issues.
I have attached screenshots from Activity Monitor and Terminal confirming that RoonServer is not starting.
Could you please advise on the next steps and let me know if you would like me to provide log files or perform any additional diagnostics?
Thank you.
Describe your network setup
My Roon Core is running on an Intel Mac mini (macOS Monterey) connected via Gigabit Ethernet to my home network. My music library is stored on a Synology DS1825+ NAS, which is also connected via Ethernet to the same network. The NAS is used only for music storage; the Roon Core is not running on the NAS. The network infrastructure consists of: Router: TP-Link Archer AX73 10 GbE Switch: TP-Link TL-SX105 2.5 GbE Switch: TP-Link TL-SG105-M2 The Mac mini, Synology NAS, and all Roon endpoints are connected to the same local network. No VPN, guest network, or network isolation is being used. This configuration has been stable and working without issues for several months. The problem began immediately after installing the latest Roon software update.
