daniel_the_swede Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm running AO 1.30 on WS2012 R2 and trying to install Roon core (i.e. server and audio endpoint). I don't recall the name of the AO mode I'm using, but I have GUI starting up foobar2k as the default shell. Since my AO is too old to use the method in post 1, I'm trying to add the essentials experience and the media pack in WS2012. (Roon itself installed fine but is complaining about missing required audio codecs.) My current stumbling block is to install the essentials experience I need to add essential experience role via server manager. There is a red flag at start of server manager and clicking on it informs me that "Configuration refresh failed with the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or it has no enabled devices associated with it.". Googling the error text suggested it could be solved by running "for /f %s in (‘dir /b *.mof *.mfl’) do mofcomp %s" in the AutoRecover directory, but it's empty in my computer. I've tried turning off most optimisation in AO but it doesn't make any difference. I need some help, please. Link to comment
LewinskiH01 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hello. Need help figuring out what I'm doing wrong. I had this running until yesterday and after WS2012R2 reinstallation I'm having trouble. System: Roon Server machine is a Win 10 PC, streaming over ethernet to the AudioPC that has WS2012R2 + Roon Bridge + AO 2.20 and connects directly to a USB DAC. I had it running with WS2012R2 in minimal server mode, but after reinstallation it's not working anymore. Currently: With WS2012R2 running with a GUI, Roon Server sees RoonBridge OK and plays without problem. When I turn WS to minimal server mode, Roon Server doesn't see RoonBridge anymore. The first time I ran AO today it asked if I wanted to enable Roon support (as in page 34 of manual) and I said yes, but still didn't work. I went back to GUI and Roon worked OK, then back to minimal server and ran AO again and it didn't ask if I wanted to enable Roon support. Did the cycle again and still the same situation. So right now I can play music to Roon Bridge while in GUI mode...but the sound quality is not the same. Any pointers of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance! Link to comment
AudioPhil Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hey LewinskiH01 Did you run AO again and said also yes to "Install Kernel-Streaming support" after you switched into minimal-server mode? Can you play music with another player, let's say Foobar2000 or something similar which is easy to install just for a test?

Yes, I did run AO again and also said yes to KS after I switched into minimal server mode. The three times I tried this. I don't have another player installed in that PC. Should I install something? Or can I play sounds from an existing app? Regards, Horacio Link to comment
AudioPhil Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hello One you are familiar with would be ideal. But before, please also check if the Windows Audio Service is running.

I'm assuming tI should urn into minimal server mode and check if Windows Audio Service is working, right? Because it does work while in GUI since Roon Bridge plays music.

AudioPhil Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Type "net start" in command prompt and press enter. When you see "WIndows Audio" and Audio EndpointBuilder" the services are running, if not then.... ıllıllı [ ...AO 4.00 BETA... ] ıllıllı ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shop | Reviews | Reference System | AudiophileOptimizer 3.00 | PDF Guide Link to comment

What's most puzzling is it was working on minimal-server before I did the Windows reinstall, so there has to be something in the setup. Oh well. Link to comment
AudioPhil Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Sorry for the delay! At least your screenhot looks very good! Can you try with another player you are familiar with installing and making it work in Core mode? My impression is that Audio stack wise everything is working fine. That's why i'd like to check using another player. ıllıllı [ ...AO 4.00 BETA... ] ıllıllı ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shop | Reviews | Reference System | AudiophileOptimizer 3.00 | PDF Guide Link to comment

I went on to explore the update log for AO 3.00 and realized WS2012R2 was rather outdated, and went ahead and installed WS2019. So won't be solving for the above anymore. I am likely to show up in another thread asking for other help, though ☺️ Hope you are safe and doing well. Link to comment

Flavio Lanteri Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi, I upgraded from Win Server 2012 and AO 2.2, to Win Server 2019 GUI and AO 3.0. All works fine but if in AO I remove all network services in Roon my Qobuz service don't run. Which is the best configuration in AO to have Qobuz working in Roon? Link to comment
AudioPhil Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi You can use everything excecpt "disable network related services" in AO Best, AudioPhil ıllıllı [ ...AO 4.00 BETA... ] ıllıllı ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shop | Reviews | Reference System | AudiophileOptimizer 3.00 | PDF Guide Link to comment
