Dante Virtual Soundcard. Allows direct audio input and output via a personal computer's Ethernet port. - Supports ASIO (Windows) and Core Audio (Mac). - 48/96 kHz sample rates and 16/24/32 bit depth supported. - Can be customized for 2 ~ 64 in/out channels according to available machine power and the application.
Normal PCs or Macs with standard Ethernet port (or appropriate external adapters) can connect to Dante network directly, but it's necessary to have special software from Audinate there. It's called either Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) or Dante Via (although it's for bit different use case), those make software endpoint for Dante network.
Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software application that turns any PC or Mac into a Dante-enabled device, allowing Dante audio traffic to be transmitted and received between other Dante-enabled devices using the standard Ethernet port. Now Audinate, the developer of Dante audio-over-IP, updated Dante Virtual Soundcard for both Mac and Windows computers, optimizing the code for Apple Silicon
Dante Virtual Sound card offers support for both WDM & ASIO standards. So when migrating from versions before 6.3 to 6.3 and later you may very well need to reinstall audio drivers. Also, with 6.3+ make sure that WO output sample rate is identical to Dante’s output rate.
DVS will effectively ‘stop’; that is, it will not show up in Dante Controller or as a sound card. If DVS has stopped because it was unable to phone home in time, allowing the machine to connect to the Internet and clicking ‘Refresh’ in the Licensing Tab’ will allow it to start again (assuming the license is still valid / not activated
Re: Dante Virtual Soundcard and Smaart, etc. I got the DANTE card yesterday. Short version is that Smaart and Virtual Sound Check (multi-channel recording and playback) appear to work fine. Thanks for the encouragement. It took a little fooling around with IP addressing -- I'll spare you the details.
Bodzio Software Dante Virtual Soundcard uses ASIO, but would provide some useful flexibility, and would simplify the interconnections since it only needs the use of a Gigabit Ethernet port, with networking accomplished using a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
Dante Virtual Soundcard. For users of Apple Macintosh computers: We now recommend the latest version of Dante Virtual Soundcard for all Mac users - Apple Silicon (M series) and Intel processors. Both Single Machine and Transferable licenses are supported from version 4.3 onwards.
Which audio applications does Dante Virtual Soundcard support? Windows: any audio application that supports WDM or the ASIO interface. This includes nearly all currently available professional level audio workstations such as Nuendo, Cubase, Reaper, and Pro Tools, and many consumer-level audio applications such as iTunes and Skype. OS X: any
