    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    That may, indeed, be the path of least resistance.

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I think I'm going to try linking the WiiM endpoints within Roon to create a group there rather than within the WiiM app. I will see how that works when I get home from work tonight.

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I would have thought so, too. But for me, I simply cannot get Roon to play through the WiiM devices connected to my Ultra. It does seem to go against logic, but I have experienced it. And then the WiiM post appears to confirm it.

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I just discovered that WiiM does NOT support Roon for Multiroom playback: https://faq.wiimhome.com/en/support/solutions/articles/72000635405-limitations-and-considerations-of-wiim-multi-room-music The relevant bit: On the one hand, I'm disappointed, but on the other hand, I feel a sense of...

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I was thinking there was a different protocol. I disabled the google cast endpoint and tried streaming via the Roon Ready version of the endpoint, but I was still getting the same problem (playing on the Ultra, but not playing on any of the other connected WiiMs. It's been quite the frustration.

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I will reach out to Roon to get a definitive answer regarding the streaming of "Roon Ready" devices as distinct from using the WiiMs as a "standard" Google Cast endpoint. I was hoping that accessing the Ultra via the Roon Ready stream would somehow bypass the Google Cast issue, but it doesn't...

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    It's good to know they are, indeed, working on it. I understand that dealing with outside corporations can be frustrating. I just hope that things will keep moving forward.

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    I know. This whole situation has really flummoxed me! Tidal and Spotify Connect are now working as expected. The Qobuz app will not (Chromecast issues are starting to make sense). But if I use Qobuz within the Wiim app, all is fine. Again, thanks so much. You put me on the right path...

    Thanks for your reply. I was looking into it, and it looked like spotify was using connect. To be on the safe side, I accessed Spotify through the Wiim app. And it worked by doing that. I also tried Tidal via the app, and that worked. However, using Roon still isn't working. I tried connecting...

    Linked Wiim issues (playing with optical, not with streaming)

    So this one is a head scratcher for me. I use optical and line -in into my Ultra. I have an amp pro, and two Wiim Pro Pluses linked. The linked Wiims work perfectly. However, today I tried streaming (via Roon as well as Spotify) and the linked players would not play. I can hear through the...

    Ultra Sync Issues

    Update: Somehow, things seem to be working again. 🤞🏻 I reinstalled the app. Same issue. Then did a factory reset on the ultra. Same issue. Then I tried, again, tried exploring the line in/optical in sound settings. I updated the line in resolution, and when it played the test tone/music…voila...

    Ultra Sync Issues

    Hmmmmm. Ok. Don’t like the sound of that, lol, but I appreciate your response! Thanks so much!

    Ultra Sync Issues

    Previous, I had a Pro Plus hooked up to my stereo system. I could link to two other WiiMs across my home. I bought an Ultra to replace the Pro Plus in my stereo system. The sync to the other WiiMs worked for a short while, but now I cannot get the others to play. All WiiMs are up to date. I’ve...

    Signal Chain Degradation?

    GEEZE!!! What the heck is wrong with me???? DAC to amp via XLR. Balanced out from DAC and balanced in to amp. At this point I should just retire typing thumbs. And I would suggest you forget you ever read any of my blathering!! 😂 I apologize and I thank you.
