thank you very much for all the info, suggestions and time…
I had hoped, also a real supporter would come times. Too bad.
I still have two three ideas to find out what’s going on.
Everything is ok via the interface (Focusrite) connected to my Mac. There have also been problems when the PulseFlex is connected to the switch via LAN.
There were NO problems with the ELAC Discovery. However, Roon Essentials is out of the question for me.
For the moment it seems as if here with me, Roon and BlueSound can not together. I would also sell the stuff, but the node (BluOS) also has other music service in the program. But Roon unfortunately not. I keep trying
Once again, thank you very much for your help!!!
And that is also strange. The Node 2i is not shown as Roon Ready (in Roon settings) Only via Airplay (?) I will uninstall everything completely. And maybe set up the Mac Book Air as the core. It has the least software on it … it’s really crazy.
Thank you.
I had already reset the devices in December. But it can’t hurt to try again. Unfortunately, the problem persists. I can not find a solution. And what annoys me is the fact that I don’t know what the problem is. Roon or BlueSound?
Maybe Roon also does not want to me
May be I can connect my Rotel and my Denon optimally so that I can then address the boxes on the Rotel to Roon. Without BlueSound. But I’m not a HiFi expert and do not really understand the connections … preamp, power amp, ohms, watts, pre-out volume and what else.
I’m sorry to hear that.
In any case, it can not be exclusively a problem of Roon or Bluesound?, because for me everything runs smoothly and without any dropout, although my system is similar:
NUC8i7BEH running Rock, connected to the router via ethernet.
Bluesound Node 2i connected via lan cable to fritzbox wifi access point - fritzbox connected to router via lan cable.
Never had a problem.
If I connect the old Netgear router to my Fritzbox, but over the WAN port and then use the Node, the MacBook Air as a core in this network - NO PROBLEMS.
But if I take the Netgear from the WAN port of the Fritzbox and the Netgear is in the same address range of the Fritzbox = Problems
But if I use, whatever network, the connection via Airplay, 90% of the problem is gone.
But if I listen to music ONLY through the Node (BlueOS) everything is great
I do not understand anything. Because of the problem I have, I don’t like to buy a Roon Core.
What I find very strange is this:
The speaker is connected via LAN cable
Left roon ready - right airplay
Where does Amplifier come from? I have reset the speaker 1000 times… nothing to find (BlueOS Magic?)
It is marginally better via airplay. But the problem still exists I’m going crazy
I want to use this so much and “may” not ???
I have a workaround. But it’s not really a solution for the time:
It looks like Roon has a problem with the FritzBox Cable 6591. Or with the fact that it is a direct connection to the cable modem. And not to a router.
Reminder
BlueSound Node 2i and Pulse Flex alone play WITHOUT errors.
If Roon isn play, it is over. Then come the noise and dropouts
Now is connected to the Fritzbox (1 LAN port) a router (WAN port). The router has a different address range, and can connect to the Internet.
Audio problems are gone. Everything sounds fine. WLAN-Speaker works perfect.
Disadvantage.
I can not communicate with each other with my devices.
Roon labs - please check if this can’t be investigated or fixed. I would need to completely rebuild my network or can’t use Roon
It sounds like if you use the Netgear as the router, everything works as expected? We have seen some issues with old Fritzbox firmware, I would check to ensure you have the latest firmware installed. We have also seen this setting help:
FRITZ OS 7
The FRITZ OS 7 update includes a feature called “Software Packet Acceleration” that can cause issues with remote connectivity. We recommend disabling this setting from the FRITZ GUI.
I would also ensure that the switch you are using is an Unmanaged one instead of a managed one, Managed switches have been known to cause issues with Roon if improperly configured.
Thank you so much for pointing this out. I had not yet discovered that. There are also references to this on the Internet. I took the risk and tried it out during my work. No change. Getting back to the FritzBox Cable and Netgear - Combo … and it works
Thanks for letting us know that this combo works instead, in this case please continue to use the Netgear router instead of the direct WAN connection, it sounds like something in the internal routing of the Fritzbox is not working properly.
