Multichannel between 2 computers, and Dante
Jul 26 2021 | 3:53 pm
Hi there,
We need to stream 32 audio channels from one computer to another one.
Same network. Just an ethernet Gigabit connection between them.
Dante Via seems to be limited to 16 channels, but it works (very) fine.
Dante Virtual Soundcard seems to be ok for up to 64.
We tried this one (trial version) but it seems we miss something.
Do we need more than Dante Virtual Soundcard to stream 32 channels between our two computers ?
Of course, there are Jack Audio for networking too etc. But I already rely on Dante and it is very solid so, it was my first bet.
Thanks a lot.

AFAIK, Via is limited to 16 channels, and works only at 48kHz. But it does work without a hardware clock.
