FAQ: Why did all my zones disappear?
If your zones are not showing up in Roon, or all of your audio outputs are gone, it typically indicates:
- A networking problem is interfering with Roon's ability to communicate with your zones. Review our network best practices for tips on ensuring stability in this area.
- Roon's audio server process (RAATServer) is crashing.
- For audio devices directly connected to a headless server running Windows, you need to configure auto login.
- Firewall Issues : verify that both Roon.exe and RAATServer.exe have been added as exceptions to your firewall.
- Low-level corruption : if you're experiencing corruption, install a fresh version of Roon on your Core machine and restore to one of your older backups.
