Switches with EEE (also known as "Green Ethernet" or IEEE 802.3az) are strictly unverified and must be avoided or disabled. EEE powers down idle ports, which disrupts Dante's precise clocking synchronization and causes catastrophic audio drops. Step-by-Step Optimization to Achieve Verified Status
The free software is essential for managing your network. Use it to route audio between DVS and any other Dante devices on your network, set sample rates, and manage latencies.
💡 A verified system is a silent system. No background updates, no power-saving, and no Wi-Fi. Gigabit Ethernet connected (No Wi-Fi). EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) disabled.
Critical for prioritizing Dante clock synchronization (PTP v1 / IEEE 1588) over general network traffic. Configure your switch with strict priority queuing using 4 or 8 egress queues. dante virtual soundcard dvs verified
Integrates with standard media players like VLC or iTunes via Core Audio (macOS) or ASIO/WDM (Windows). What Does "DVS Verified" Mean?
Let me know your and operating system , and I can provide specific troubleshooting steps for your verified DVS setup.
Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to free up system interrupts. Switches with EEE (also known as "Green Ethernet"
You can adjust the DVS buffer latency in the Dante Virtual Soundcard control panel.
Acceptable for small, isolated networks (e.g., a laptop connected directly to one digital mixer).
Enter your computer’s BIOS/UEFI and disable Intel SpeedStep, C-States, and AMD Cool'n'Quiet. These power-saving features dynamically throttle the CPU, causing sudden audio dropouts. Use it to route audio between DVS and
"Dante Virtual Soundcard Verified" signifies that your system—comprising your computer, operating system, and network interface—has been tested and confirmed to operate efficiently with DVS within Audinate's technical specifications . This guarantees:
Download DVS from the Audinate website and ensure you have a valid license ID activated.
