I am having trouble locating audio devices on a Mac Mini running MC32 (macOS Sequoia 15.2). It was my understanding that MC would just "find" the network audio devices auto-magically. That's not happening. There are devices out there, like a Sonos, a SmartTV, etc. Ordinarily these show up next to the Player row on the left-hand side. Right now, there are zero network devices. I tried stopping starting MC32 but that has had no effect. Since I run the Mac Mini remote, I haven't rebooted the entire computer -- would that help?

My question: is there a way to force MC32 to update/search the network for audio devices? I figure the solution is simple. I tried looking on the wiki pages but didn't find anything to help, probably because I am not sure what the "official terminology" is for a network audio device.

Any ideas/suggestions? I was trying to send an audio stream to a Sonos in a common living space but am unable to right now unless I can network devices in my Player area.

Thanks, -dGB

P.S. AFAIK I am using the latest version of MC32 for Mac (32.0.58 - Silicon).

Are you sure that Media Network is enabled in MC's settings and the all 3 functions (renderer, controller and server) are enabled in Media Network options?

Sure looks like it. Plus, I never mess around with settings, and I used to see other audio sources regularly until recently. I will try to reboot and see what happens.

Strangely, I know that the computer itself sees the sources, it is just MC32 that is not seeing them.

Rebooted my Mac Mini. Made no difference whatsoever. Still can't see a single device except 'Player'. Can see numerous devices (Sonos, streamer/DAC) in MacOS sound settings, just none in MC32

MC needs UDP port 1900 to receive the device discovery broadcasts, make sure it's open on your firewall.

Firewall, that was it -- thanks.
