  • None

Pre-existing known issues (v1.4.0.5)

  • DS-2125: Via doesn’t show up in Dante Controller immediately after the valid interface is selected for the first time.
  • DS-2130: If after a computer reboot an audio application starts playing audio before Via, Via will not send or receive audio for that application. Workaround: Restart Via.
  • DS-2270: Via audio occasionally fails to recover after restarting Via. Workaround: Change the default audio device to another output and then switch it back to Via. This restores audio output.
  • DS-2135: Dante Devices enrolled in Director do not reappear in Via if the Ethernet cable is unplugged and the interface is changed. Workaround: Restart Via.
  • DS-2239: Audio Devices do not always enable automatically when ‘Make Audio Devices available on the Network automatically’ is checked. Workaround: Enable the audio devices manually if they are not already enabled.
  • VIA-2354: Duplicate application names can cause duplicate channels on the Dante network.
  • VIA-2641: Subscriptions between Dante Via devices may not automatically recover after rebooting DDM. Workaround: Resubscribe the affected channels.
  • VIA-2642: Enrolled Via starts up unenrolled if restarted with DDM offline. Workaround: Stop and restart Dante Via.
  • VIA-2639: When enrolled in a domain, Dante Via might not display the correct domain manager hostname if it has changed.
  • VIA-2612: When two (or more) network interfaces are available on the computer, Dante Via may still appear on the network that is not currently selected.
  • VIA-2582: Application icons in a multi-channel device are sometimes not displayed correctly if subscribed from Dante Controller.
  • PP-26: Avast Business Antivirus can prevent Dante Via from installing correctly. Temporarily disable Avast to install Dante Via.
  • PCS-623: The click, response area of buttons on the Dante Via UI can move as Windows screen scaling increases beyond 175%
  • PCS-2573: Windows can block the detection of audio applications on the Dante Via Virtual Soundcard. If Dante Via is the default soundcard and it still cannot detect audio applications correctly, please contact Audinate support for more information on a possible fix.

Audinate’s Support for Inclusive Language

To our customers: some of the terminology used in Dante products has been changed to align with modern usage. Specifically, areas related to Dante clocking now refer to “Primary Leader Clock”, “Leader Clocks” and “Follower Clocks” to describe the functions of each role more clearly.
