I tried to connect to a Dante system (Yamaha QL5 + router) and play a patch in Max 8 and for some reason they never get in sync. When I turn the dac on, the master meter (right side of toolbar) just shows a full static signal (1.) but nothing actually goes out : also no signal can be seen on the meter out patch.

I realized afterwards it works fine on Max 7 (64 bits) though, with the exact same settings in Audio Status. I went back and forth between 7 and 8 and got always the same result...

I have been doing a lot with Dante and Max of late, on various systems with no issues. However, I recently had issues with a Yamaha console during a live orchestral recording. We were using a QL as a remote preamp rack and connected to a few MacBook's running reaper.

For the first (and only) time, Dante was quite a challenge. I suspect there was some conflict with the console's Dante patching and Dante Controller.

This may not be related to your problem, but thought it worthwhile to report.

Thanks TDC , yeah I'm afraid it's not related. Our Dante system has been working perfectly for some years now, it's really a Max 8 issue. Anyone on the dev team could help?

No problems Julien, hope you manage to resolve the issue.

As a side note, I can confirm that Max 8 and Dante (both DVS and actual hardware devices) works fine here across a number of test systems, so it may be something within your environment as opposed to M8 specifically.

I have exactly the same problem. Max 8 works correctly with other soundcards and DVS works fine with reaper (I've tested up to 32 channels). My config (two computers with DVS and a Ferrofish Verto64) was working 10 days ago...

I believe I have found a solution to this problem, on MacOS anyway.

It's important to launch Max and set Max's sample rate to Dante's sample rate, 

If Max has a different SR and one launches Max, DVS will force Max to the correct SR, but it will never work. Thanks to Ben Bracken for helping me track this down.

It's important to launch Max and set Max's sample rate to Dante's sample rate, then turn on DVS.

Dante bug in Max 8?
