Hi @dylan, sorry for such a late response…
What I was referring to by “+1” in this topic was that I also experience the same issue, and we have already tried to solve it once ( Roon stops playing music )
That one was closed a long time ago, problem still exist though. And browsing the community I can see that I am not alone in this. Having a Mac Mini seems to give other people the same issues I have: Roon just stops playing music and also seems to lose connection to the Zone that was playing.
Yesterday I tried the following:
Installed Roopiee on a Raspberry Pi4. The Pi is connected directly via usb to my Meridian AC200 preamp. My core, Mac Mini, hold all the music on an internal SSD and connects to the Rpi via Wifi.
With this setup I was hoping to get rid of my problem since the optical out is no longer used on the Mac Mini and MacOS should therefore not interfere with the sound output.
But I still experience the same issues.
Not sure if there is anything wrong with my Mac but since I am not alone with this issue it seems like replacing the Mac might not be the solution.
Do your team have any ideas on how to solve these MacOS issues?
