Music won't Play in either Roon or Audirvana Plus

[Jamesroy]

Music won't play in Roon or Audirvana Plus. All cables secure, did a system restart (on a Mac). So it's not a Roon problem since A+ won't pay either. Help Please?

@Jamesroy If you want specific help with your problem you need to provide a great deal more info about what you are doing, how it's setup, what it's connected too, what you've tried (beside rebooting your Mac).

Since you have a microRendu, I would connect to it, resave the existing endpoint choice and then power cycle it

I went into mysonicorbiter checked all settings which I think are correct. My setup:

8GB Ram 250 GB SSD Internal drive
External 4TB WD HD with only Music 1,130 Albums

Thunderbolt To cat-6 Ethernet to New Netgear router, Cat7 ethernet to Micro Rendu,  Cables used Oyaide neo d+ Class A USB 2.0, Stellar Gain Cell DAC-Micro Rendu with latest Upgrade to make it close to Ultra Rendu
LPS-1 Power Supply-Grounded Cable, XLR cables to PS Audio M700 Mono Blocks 350 into 8Ω Paradigm Studio 100v.3 series speakers BiWired Spiked

I went into mysonicorbiter and checked all settings and they are correct. A+ will see microRendu but not play the audio. Roon will play the audio from internal speakers but not my system. I've been using it successfully past number of weeks. This just happened this morning. I am testing out Roon in demo mode and have been using A+ for a number of years.

When you choose an Audio device in Roon does it see the MR on the network as an audio choice?

 

I have a SoTM not a MR, but here's how it looks in Roon > Settings > Audio

 

 

[Jamesroy]

Thanks so much for the reply. I'm new with Roon where is that done? Please tell me the steps to find "choose audio device"?

[creativepart]

Settings > Audio

[Jamesroy]

Yes it see's it A+ also sees it neither will play audio

[creativepart]

You selected it in the Audio Settings and then configured it in your output? See the two "gears" to the right of my SOTM device. Click that. Then Device Setup.

 

You'll need to see if it sees your DAC - here again is my setup with a Chord DAC:

go into the menu as though you were going to change endpoint choice, pick the one you want, say yes to change, then reboot/power cycle

to make sure the configuration is refreshed

 

while I no longer have a MR it would on rare occasions stop stop talking to the USB DAC, acted like it lost configuration. This

was the general fix

[Jamesroy]

Can't seem to Find "Device Setup"?

what are "endpoint choices"?

[Jamesroy]

made the changes still only internal speakers play.

[creativepart]

Still not enough info.  Post a screen shot like I did showing your Audio setup in roon.

[Jamesroy]

Sorry about duplicates

[creativepart]

As you can see.

1. Your MR is not listed so Roon does not see it at all. Because of that you cannot select it to be your audio device in Roon.

 

2. You have it set up to play through your Mac speakers, which is why it plays through your Mac speakers. That what "System Output" means... your Mac's system output.

[creativepart]

I don't know how you set up a MR, but because Roon doesn't see it on the network you either don't have it wired into the network or you have set up your MR with an incorrect endpoint choice.

[Jamesroy]

So how do I fix this, Thanks

[Jamesroy]

Everything was playing for a number of weeks it just quit today.

[creativepart]

You'll need to find someone familiar with the MicroRendu to tell you have to set it up as a Roon Endpoint.

[Foggie]

Not sure, but it if it isn't showing up in ROON, then you need to access the mR through the web interface (192.168.1.x) whatever the IP is of the mR is or go to http://www.sonicorbiter.com/ to find out your units address if you don't know it. 

 

Then go into the audio app switcher section and select the ROONready that should get your mR set to be an endpoint and should show up in ROON

[Jamesroy]

In sonicorbiter it sees it. In sonicorbeter Roon ready is enabled.
