Guys, who knows, you can attach a software spectrum analyzer to Roon, like this:

This is the closest I could find. Roon & Sound Spectrum Whitecap Plugin
Thereās at least one other feature request for this.

Thanks! Good thing. But I wanted to see what frequencies are involved when playing a music track.
Thereās another thread about it here from 4-5 years ago:
But when I watched this video on YouTube today, this is what Iād like, just digital (fungeneration RTA-31):
The downside of this one is that itās in the signal path, so thereās going to be some doubling going on and thereās almost guaranteed to be some sound degradation.
Itād be best if just like how you can ācastā Roonās now playing info to an attached TV, you could cast this equalizer to an attached display.
Hello All. I know this post is old but it is very relevant to me and I am also searching for a spectrum Analyzer in Roon. I had an idea which I woudl like to share and see if we can make it working.
I have set up a virtual cable (VB CABLE) as Zone and connected with Foobar. In this way I can use Foobar features including a spectrum analyzer.
In foobar I sart a ārecordingā utilizing the VB cable as input and I have set my external DAC as output ASIO.
You can not to set any output in Foobar and group the Vcable and your DAC zone (my Topping zone in this case) in Roon. It works fine and you have Zone control of your DAC via Roon.
EDIT: When using Foobar with no output options the spectrum is slow and delayed. If I stream audio through Foobar output to my DAC the spectrum is more syncronised.
Now a pic with more feautures from Foobar.
And here it is with the enhanced sprectrum analyzer which is much more similar to the initial request

Similar process: I actually just configure the motherboard Realtek drivers as a zone grouped with my actual DAC and turn on āwhat u hearā
Try Minimeters. More and cooler analyzer options.

Nice! Thanks a lot. Do you use Minimeters in foobar or as a stand alone Windows app analyzing the Realtek audio zone?
The latter.

Maybe, the simplest wayā¦
Topping D10 Balanced for vu-meters and spectrum analyser
Okto Dac for the soundā¦
both dac are zone grouped

Right. Thatās the concept. Those are beauties!
How do you guys like using an RPi with official 7" touchscreen on standard RPi OS, with Roon Bridge install and dynamic range EBUmeter, JAPA spectrum analyzer, and Bob Katzās JKmeter installed from the software repository.
Of course, the repository also offers VU-meters, but thereās no practical use to those ā¦

I got a cheap Amazon Fire Tablet with Android and installed a free Spectrum Analyzer app on it. It uses the tabletās mic input. I havenāt looked into a solution yet where the sound output from Roon gets directly routed into the app, bypassing the mic.
Are you running some form of Linux with Roon Bridge and the additional software for the spectrum analyzer, etc.? Clearly this wonāt work with Ropieee, DietPi, etc.
Of course not Ropieee, its OS is purpose built and tailored to be an appliance.
Understandably, Harry doesnāt invite tinkering and the ensuing help requests.
Not sure what point youāre trying to make?
Iām just presenting another method of representing your stream via spectrum analyzer (and more) on a low budget with free software and no influence on the sound.
Thought thatās what the thread is about, although mine and several other suggestions involve more than just software.
As I wrote, itās the standard RaspberryPi-OS (in its 32bit version), using Roonās bridge software, the built-in software repository and some scripting to make it happen.
No point. I was just asking, probably in a roundabout way, what OS you were using to provide the displays. Asked and answered. Thanks.
