Please read this thread as you need to install the modified Roon QNAP qpkg to get AAC to work.

I’m upto date on the server (01-02-2021).

I updated it anyway to see if it made any difference but unfortunately not.

I had seen that thread but hadn’t realised that it would apply to QTS 4.5.2.

QNAP will no longer support ffmpeg so anyone who uses a QNAP Roon Core will have to use this method if they want support for AAC. You will need to install ffmeg the way Chris has described.

Thanks, I’m afraid I don’t really understand what’s going on in the video and I couldn’t see any instructions. Is there any associated assistance with this or is there anyway someone from ROON could guide me through this process?

I took a photo of my Roon on Windows
