Yamaha firmware update did it again! (1 Viewer)

[Boomzilla]

I own a Yamaha RX-V6A receiver. My main audio feed to the Yamaha is by Ethernet (fed from Roon). A few days ago, the Yamaha said it needed a firmware update. Fool that I am, I let the update proceed, and it said it completed successfully. But ever since that update, my Ethernet input on the Yamaha no longer works. I can feed the receiver by HDMI, and everything works fine, but I've not yet discovered how to get the Ethernet input on the Yamaha to accept streaming audio again.

I contacted Yamaha support, and their "level two" technician who called me insisted that my Ethernet port WAS working, and that any problem I had was with Roon. Of course, this didn't explain why the issue only occurred after installing Yamaha's firmware update... I've also contacted Roon support without success.

So, I'm doing what I should have done to start with - asking here!

Has anyone else had this issue with Yamaha's latest firmware update?
Has anyone here any idea how to fix this?

I’m sorry to read about your problem. Yesterday, I updated the firmware for my Yamaha RX-V8A receiver without any issues. I don’t use the ethernet for audio, I use HDMI. Also, I don’t utilize Roon.

Thanks Crawdaddy - My experience mirrors yours - I installed the update with no issues and afterword, my HDMI inputs continued to work fine. But, as I said, my Ethernet input no longer works at all.
