· The device has no problems with another audio source

Have you checked that Roon is whitelisted in any firewalls?

Describe the issue

I just got a new M4 iMac and downloaded Roon app. On the first day, I was able to play music to the 3 speakers connected through my home WiFi. On my next playing session, Roon indicated that there was an Update, so I clicked to update the software. My speakers disappeared from the Audio Devices! but my wife's Roon works as normal on her MacBook Air. I Restarted my iMac, restarted Roon and the speakers appeared again. So I was able to group them again in one Audio Zone as I had done previously, and played music that evening. Yesterday, when I restarted, Roon could not find my speakers again. So I restarted the iMac, but Roon still cannot find my speakers, just indicating "No audio found".

Describe your network setup

ISP to their box, to Orbi with 2 satellites. Orbi softwware confirms that my audio and other devices are in the network.ell, jus as I was writing this, and Roon asked for a Screen shot (I don't know how to do this), I went to Roon and my speakers showed up in the Audio Zone, and they started playing ! That's nice, but I don't know what happened. BTW, my Firewall is Off.
