3 years ago Thanks for the post. It's not clear, but did you ever get audio out of a Shairport Sync instance? (If not, the problem might have nothing to do with VLANS, but instead be something more mundane.)
It might be worth turning on the first level of verbosity (in the configuration file) and also turn on statistics to see if Shairport Sync seems to be outputting audio.
Staying with network matters, the audio and control signals are all via UDP, not TCP, so it's important to ensure they are getting through. Another thing is that some users have reported issues with Unifi gear, though it seemed to be more related to mDNS than anything else, so may not be relevant.

I am really close to giving up on this, because I have a strange behavior with shairport-sync. Currently I have 4 VLANs at home with Unifi gear (UDM Pro/APs):
Internal
IoT/Media
NoT
Guest
My situation is, that I can see all mDNS announcements on DNS-SD or with
avahi-browsein any VLAN and in the logs of the multicast-relay. This is the expected and wanted behavior. All my devices in the IoT network announce_raop_.tcpand I can read it in my internal network. Now to the things, that are odd. I can connect to any shairport-sync instance and play music without getting any error on the client or log messages in any of my services/devices, but there is no sound output. It gets even stranger considering I can play music and cast video just fine to my Apple TV, but that might be because it uses AirPlay 2 instead of a RAOP/AirTunes. My Apple TV can cast to shairport also without a problem and I can play music from Spotify to a Spotify connect client running on the same Pi from my phone. AirPrint works also just fine. However when I connect to the shairport instance and disconnect, my connection doesn't seem to be closed. I get an error that the device is already in use when I want to reconnect. It seems it does not receive the information of my phone disconnecting.I was 100% sure that this is a firewall issue, because the rules I have in place are:
To make sure, that one of the rules is blocking me streaming to the shairport instance I shutdown the firewall and allowed all traffic between any network. To my surprise I still do not have any output when streaming from my phone. This brings me here.
Setup Information:
Raspberry Pi 4 & 3B+ Kernel 5.10 and 5.4
Shairport-sync Version 3.3.6-3.3.8
UDM Pro FW 1.9.3
Appreciate any help!
