Description Of Issue
On my Roon application, the KEF LS50W and the Chromecast devices I have no longer appear.
I have restarted all my network gear.
I updated firmware on the KEFS
I’ve updated the Synology Roon Core and all associated software to the latest version.
I then read that Roon on Synology has issues when a virtual network device is also present. I did recently install the “Virtual Machine Manager” software from Synoloy and install a Win10 and Ubuntu VM. I have since uninstalled the VMM software and still my Roon core does not detect the Chromecasts or LS50W on same nework.
HI there - I checked the settings and found yes, it was enabled.
I disabled it, restarted the Roon core on the Synology, and the KEF LS50W appeared again.
Thing is - I never enabled it in the settings, it must get enabled when installing Virtual Machine Manager, but uninstalling VMM does not disable it once uninstalled. I didn’t know this, or know that there was a separate setting buried away that I needed to check… I do now!
For anyone else who has this issue, please navigate to the following settings to disable Open vSwitch: Control Panel > Network > Network Interface (Tab) > Manage (Button) > Open vSwitch Settings >Disable Open vSwitch
