Hello @chrisgoree ,

Since you’re running macOS, the behavior you’re seeing is consistent with the newer, stricter Local Network permission controls in the recent macOS releases.

Please try the following steps:

1. Open macOS System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network
2. Make sure Roon and Roon Server are both enabled
3. Even if they are already enabled, please toggle them off and back on
4. Fully quit Roon Server from the macOS menu bar / task bar
5. Reboot your Mac
6. After reboot, launch Roon again and check if the devices is avaliable again.

Once these permissions are refreshed and the system restarted, your audio devices should reappear.

Please let us know if the issue persists after these steps, and we’ll continue from there.

HI @chrisgoree,

If MacOS has severed Roon’s local network permissions, you’ll often find that Roon Remotes installed on other computers, phones, and tablets can’t connect to the server.

The first step is to try what @alex_h suggested above.

If you’re still encountering issues, can you please share the make/model of mesh network you use in this setup? We can suggest specific settings to optimize the network for Roon traffic and prevent these connection disruptions.

We’ll watch for your response. Thanks!
