Roon "Lost control of audio device"?


All of a sudden for the past couple of weeks, I can’t get through 2 minutes of a song without receiving an error stating, “Roon lost control of the audio device.” I use a Spectrum modem and router. Spectrum  replaced my router, but I continue to receive the same error. Sometimes I hear what sounds like static coming through my speakers, right before the error pops up and the music stops. I’ve tried resetting my Antipodes S40 music server and my Chord English Electric 8 Switch. How do I correct the issue, because I can’t listen to music? Can anyone recommend a good router/modem?

I'm running ROCK which is Roons OS on a NUC. I had the same problem the only thing that fixed it was reinstalling the OS but it's easy to do with ROCK. Can you log in to the OS and find Roon core with webmin and do a reinstall ? 

If nothing else works you could try RAATServer refresh.

 

  • Create a Backup of your current Roon database
  • Exit out of Roon
  • Navigate to your Roon’s Database Location 5
  • Find the folder that says “RAATServer”
  • Rename the “RAATServer” folder to “RAATServer_old”
  • Restart the Roon App to generate a new RAATServer folder
