Audinate - Dante Virtual Sound Card - Dvs-4.4.1.3 Standalone

Audinate Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) v4.4.1.3 is a software solution that transforms your standard Mac or PC into a high-performance, network-enabled audio interface. By utilizing your computer's built-in Ethernet port, DVS bridges the gap between your digital audio workstation (DAW) and any Dante-enabled audio hardware on a local network. No dedicated hardware soundcards or bulky breakout cables are required.

Ready to install? Ensure you have Dante Controller v4.12 or later, a dedicated Gigabit switch (no home routers without QoS!), and a Cat6 shielded cable. Then, deploy this standalone gem and experience the freedom of audio over IP.

That said, if you need AES67 interoperability or are running an M2/M3 Mac, you may need to move to v4.6.x. But for a rock-solid, standalone, no-cloud-required virtual sound card on Windows 10/11 or Intel Macs, 4.4.1.3 is the final "simple" version.

Virtual Routing: It presents itself to the operating system (Windows or macOS) as a standard sound card. Users can route audio channels from any Dante-enabled hardware (microphones, mixers, DSPs) directly into software applications like Pro Tools, Zoom, OBS, or QLab, and vice versa.
Channel Count: Depending on the sample rate configuration, DVS typically supports up to 16 transmit (output) channels and 16 receive (input) channels at 48kHz, or 8x8 at 96kHz.
Zero Hardware Latency: While all networks have some latency, DVS allows users to configure latency settings (playout safety offset) to balance system stability against audio delay, essential for live sound or monitoring applications.

Burn it to a CD. Put it in a fire safe. It is the most boring, beautiful piece of audio networking software ever written.
