Audio Channels

Use the Audio Channels drop-down menu to set the number of transmit and receive Dante audio channels available and advertised on the network. This enables the number of channels shown in Dante Controller (and any connected audio application) to be limited, if required. The maximum number of channels supported depends on the interface type and the selected audio format.

Important:  The number of Dante audio channels that can be reliably handled by Dante Virtual Soundcard is dependent on the network speed and sample rate. The maximum recommended number of channels is shown in the table below.
