Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· None of these quite match

Tell us what's going on

· After installing latest update for Roon on MacOS, the application does not recognise the computer as the Roon server. It prompts for a new login, but then shows that there is already a server authorised. It no longer recognises the same machine.

Tell us about your home network

· Fritzbox 6890

If there is an option to unauthorize that server you should do so.

Sometimes Roon can get “confused” on logins.

Then it will present a list of what Roon sees as available servers it sees on your network.

What’s your macOS version?

Hello @pwi.rnl

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.
