System worked fine. Downloaded new Mac OS Catalina when Apple sent it out, which was approximately the same time I received the Roon 1.7 update. I am no longer able to hear any music. Not knowledgable enough to figure it out myself. Magnolia Installers not able to help. Had NO music for Thanksgiving.
Iām still running Roon on Mojave so I have no experience of running Roon on Catalina butā¦ Until someone more knowledgeable wades in, it might be worth making sure that youāve given Roon full disk access via System Preferences. Hope this might help and good luck.
Appreciate it Philip! I went to Prefs and Accessibility and the Roon was greyed out and unelectable. The problem could be with the Roon 1.7 update and how it relates to the new Mac OS. I certainly need someone to get me there. Thanks for trying!
Iām guessing here but have you unlocked the preferences panel? You wonāt be able to make any changes until then. Just a thought ā Iām away from my Mac today so canāt check things out right now.
Sorry to hear about the issues and that thanksgiving was without music. Iād be happy to help you with this issue. First, can you please confirm the following information?
Where is your media library? Is it all located on the QNAP NAS or does any reside on the Nucleus Internal Storage?
Do you have any streaming services set up (TIDAL/Qobuz)? Is the behavior the same with content played from there?
Does the MacOS āSystem Outputā or āCore Audioā output work as expected? You can switch zones via the Zone Picker.
Are you presented with any error messages in Roon when trying to start playback?
In your System Preferences, open Security & Privacy option and look under PRIVACY tab for Files and Folders to see if ROON is added and granted Full Disk Access - this is GREYED out and cannot be changed here.
In order to add or change ROON permissions, either add ROON under Full Disk Access. If you already see ROON added but not accessing extrernal drives, I would āremoveā ROON, close System Preferences and re-add āROONā and see how that helps.
Noris - I appreciate your outreach, but I am not capable enough to answer those questions. I am sure the answer lies within but I am not able to do so. Is there ANYONE I can talk to on the phone or screen share with to help me get my Roon back up? Thanks.
@Brandon_Coleman_Jr, are you able to access your Nucleus via its IP address from your Mac? It seems that you are only using your Mac as a control point, is this correct?
@Brandon_Coleman_Jr, OK, thanks. Brandon, the only way that people can help is if you provide more details about your set up. Can you post a screen shot of what you see if you go to Settings > General? Also, can you confirm that your Nucleus is actually powered on?

This indicates that your Mac canāt find the Nucleus Core. I would start by checking some of the basics:
Is your Nucleus powered on? If not press the power button to turn it on.
Does the Nucleus have an active Ethernet connection to the router or switch? The lights on the back, connecting to the Ethernet port should be flashing.
Is your Mac on the same network as the Nucleus? I would ensure that you havenāt accidentally connected to a āguestā network of sorts.
All on board - Thank you!! Somehow, during the Roon 1.7 or Mac OS Catalina update, the connection to the Roon Nucleus Plus was lost. I re-downloaded and installed the original software, powered all off then on again and IT WORKS!!! Musicā¦and happiness, back in the house!!! Appreciate you all.
