I have given Ropieee a try on my Raspberry pi3 with Nuforce uDac (1st gen) Ropiee shows up in the webinterface but it is not seen by Roon as a network endpoint. What could I possibly have done wrong here?
Is your DAC connected with USB?
Then make sure the DAC is connected/powered on when yourāre configuring the endpoint in Roon, otherwise Roon will not see it. Furthermore make sure youāve enabled āUSB Audioā in RoPieeeās web interface.
Yes, checked both. Light on the uDac is burning, Audio USB on the web interface is checked. Rebooted a couple of times but it does not show up. Maybe the uDac is not supported ?
Donāt expect that. Itās a USB DAC, so it should be supportedā¦
Can you go to the āadvancedā tab in the web interface? Thereās a button below that says āsend feedbackā. Hit that please so I can have a look.
Thanks,
Will do that, thanks
feedback has been sent, could not write down the number, went away too fast
Everything looks ok. DAC is recognised (although this manufacturer forgot to set the āmanufacturerā field in the USB information), RoonBridge runningā¦
So in general I would expect it to show up. Have you restarted Roon Core?
Yes i have restarted the core. Will try it again. Could it be the missing device info?
Just remember I have an old usb spdif bridge in the closet. That one works and shows up as usb audio dac, the same name it shows up when I connect it to my laptop
No I canāt imageā¦ canāt look in the RoonBridge log though.
ok. that would be a quick check I guess.
Connected the usb spdif bridge and sent uou a new feedback file. This one shows up in Roon as USB Audio DAC, Burbrown from ti ALSA
okā¦ that suggests thereās something with that DAC directly over USB. weird. But if this works ā¦
Yes it works, but its only a spdif bridge. The udac works fine directly from my laptop and shows up as Nuforce uDac
What do you mean āfrom my laptopā? In combination with Roon?
I mean directly connected to my macbook, either in combination with Roon or as default audio output
yeah ok. but default output is not the issue. the DAC is recognised, so this is only an issue in combination with RoonBridge so it seems.
So the weird thing is that if you connect it to your laptop it shows up in Roon, but not if you hook it up to RoPieee.
Hmmā¦ to bad I canāt see the RoonBridge logs.
Are you familiar with SSH?
No sorry, not familiar with SSH
The Udac shows up as Nuforce uDac in Roon but the underscore says āVendor strings are placed hereā In other words, it appears to have no vendor strings as you have allready figured out.
yep. Extremely sloppy work, but thatās it. Itās just a string, and not part of the interface. So Iām still surprised that it wonāt show up.
Ok. What I will do is extend the feedback mechanism so I can also see the RoonBridge logs to see whatās going on and why it fails to see the DAC (which is what I expects happens). If RoonBridge does not have an audio output device available it wonāt show up in Roon Core, so that seems to be your issue.
Will take time though and wonāt be earlier then the weekend.
Well I allready have had way more help from you then I ever expected, so take your time.
Thanks a lot, highly appreciated.
