It may but let us look at something else first..

Tell me what you see after you click that link, and also color of lights on ZS

Cheers!!

The link opens the playback settings page and the color of the LED is white.

Ok that's good, that means you are connected to your network and also internet, so the issue here is limited to Roon as it is just not seeing the Zen, not there is something up with the ZS.

This became an issue for me after Roon 2.0 update came out occasionally I would lose streamers in Roon.

The way I solved it was to restart the unit I was accessing Roon from by restart, Tell me where your Roon Core is and how you access it, also what the ZS is connected to (DAC and method)

Cheers!!

It does not show Tidal Connect as well. mConnect app works, however!

Roon core is in a PC. DAC is a USB DAC !

This setup worked before

Roon core is in a PC. DAC is a USB DAC !

Ok lets try this first,

If your Roon core is a PC, and it's the one you are currently using I want you to completely shut down this PC for 2 minutes and get back to me if that made any change I will be here.

So Power off ZS, with Power button on front, then PC Shutdown Restart PC open Roon Audio Settings then turn on ZS and watch the available devices

Also disconnect your DAC from ZS only LAN and Power

Cheers!!

Could it be Bitdefender? I got this msg earlier but I made an exception for address and all roon modules in BD!
"Feature:Online Threat Prevention
An attempt to inject a command towards your system through a dangerous URL was made by 192.168.50.69. We blocked the connection to prevent malicious commands from being executed on the device and across the network."

Yes it certainly can it is being blocked, can you disable that?

 

[kaushama]

Disabled but no change!

 

[iFi audio]

Disabled but no change!

Instead of doing another reset, but it would be good to try now that it's unblocked, go ahead and try a "soft" factory reset from here...

See that should bring you back to 2.31.7 I believe, then lets see!

Cheers!!

 

[iFi audio]

Please give this factory reset plenty of time to finish, and resist urges to unplug or press buttons, it does take time (longer than usual)

Once lights are steady, open ifi.local to verify it is done.

Cheers!!

 

[kaushama]

OK Will do and revert!

 

[kaushama]

Soft reset did the trick! Thank you for your assistance and patience!

Where can we find the change log for the new firmware?
