Dante Virtual Sound Card

The Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) is a software application available from Audinate that turns your PC or Mac into a Dante-enabled device, allowing Dante audio traffic to be transmitted and received using the standard Ethernet port. No additional hardware is required.

The latest version of the Dante Virtual Soundcard uses either the standard Core Audio (Mac OS X) or Steinberg’s ASIO (Windows) audio interface, and can be used with any supporting audio application.

Once you install the Dante Virtual Soundcard on a PC or Mac and connect it to the Dante network, you can:

  • View and change the current audio sample rate.
  • Customize the receive latency (latency a receiving device should use before playback).
  • View and set your Ethernet network interface, and view network interface details.
  • Start and stop the Dante Virtual Soundcard.
  • Select the number of audio channels available in the Dante Virtual Soundcard.

On Windows, you can also: View and set ASIO-specific parameters.

Note: You must have Dante Controller installed on a PC or Mac on your Dante network to control and route audio. It can be installed on the same computer as the Dante Virtual Soundcard.
