Hi All,
I am getting solid performance when playing music stored on the SD card. It is Roon ARC where I’m now getting a jam. Up until about a month ago, I would get clear reception when playing Roon ARC on the Poly with settings at:
and now I get this pretty consistently:
So in the last few weeks, the only thing I changed is my router, upgrading from an old Google Mesh router to a new Synology router and mesh, done in part to solve this problem (which it did). I rebooted the Roon core, deleted and reinstalled the Roon ARC app, and other resets. But the problem persists.
Anyone tips? I will follow up with Synology next.
It took me a minute to figure out what you were doing. You are using AirPlay from ARC to the Poly. Is this how you listen to the Poly on the go or at home? Technically ARC is not meant for using at home on your local network to the Roon core. That being said, I do the same but use a Sony DAP as the endpoint. I found the iOS Roon app very buggy.
The Poly should be able to sense Airplay vs RAAT streaming automatically. Does your poly work via the Roon app? Can you use another app to stream to Poly via Airplay? Did you port forward the Roon ARC TCP port? I get the too slow network errors when I'm on tightly regulated networks because ARC can't see the port. It is unclear if your issue is poly or Roon. Did you post this over at Roon or the Roon thread here?
