About Dante Virtual Soundcard

Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software application 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.

The latest version of Dante Virtual Soundcard supports the Core Audio (Mac OS X), Steinberg ASIO (Windows), and WDM (Windows) audio interfaces, and can be used with any supporting audio application.

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

  • Start and stop the application
  • Lock and unlock the application
  • Change the device latency (the minimum latency a receiving device should apply before playout)
  • Select the number of audio channels available
  • Select your preferred Ethernet network interface
  • Change the audio sample rate, audio encoding bit depth and device name (using Dante Controller)

On Windows, you can also:

  • Select ASIO or WDM mode
  • View and set ASIO-specific options
