Dante Virtual Mixer Jun 2026

While DVS connects a DAW to the network, Dante Via routes audio "inside" the computer—connecting individual applications like Spotify or Zoom directly to the Dante network.

Traditional audio mixing relies on physical consoles or dedicated hardware interfaces. However, the emergence of Audio over IP (AoIP) protocols—particularly Dante—has decoupled audio transport from physical cabling. Dante Virtual Soundcard is a software application that allows any computer to become a Dante-enabled device using only its standard Ethernet port. While DVS does not include faders, EQ, or pan pots, it acts as a , enabling software mixers (DAWs, OBS, Voicemeeter, etc.) to process Dante audio streams. This paper examines how DVS serves as the foundational layer for a virtual mixer system. dante virtual mixer
