The Audinate Group – developer of Dante AV-over-IP – has released its Dante Virtual Soundcard software for both Mac and Windows computers, now optimised for Apple Silicon processors such as the M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max, and Windows 11 operating system from Microsoft.

Dante Virtual Soundcard software turns a Mac or Windows computer into a Dante-powered workstation, integrating with Dante audio devices on an Ethernet-based network. It allows instant connection to record, process and play-out to 64x64 channels using any audio application and any combination of Dante-enabled devices. Dante Virtual Soundcard now supports macOS on both Intel and Apple Silicon platforms, as well as Windows 10/11 for PCs.

‘We’re very happy to announce the release of Dante Virtual Soundcard for Apple Silicon and Windows 11,’ says Audinate Senior Product Manager, Laurence Crew. ‘We are dedicated to supporting our customers as the operating systems and computers they employ evolve. Dante Virtual Soundcard has been a very popular and powerful tool for countless audio professionals for a long time, and we look forward to seeing what they create with these powerful new machines and Dante.’

Dante Virtual Soundcard 4.2 supports Windows 11 and Apple Silicon based macOS computers, while Dante Virtual Soundcard 4.1.2 is recommended for Intel-based macOS computers. Upgrades are free for existing users. New licenses for Dante Virtual Soundcard may be purchased for US$49.
