Pre-release

Beta Release - Build #8

⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE - This is a beta release. Network audio functionality is not yet working. The driver loads and creates an audio device, but AES67 streams are not functional yet.

Current Status

✅ What Works:

  • Core Audio driver loads successfully
  • Appears as "AES67 Device" in System Settings
  • 128-channel audio device registration
  • Ring buffer infrastructure
  • Basic I/O processing
  • SwiftUI Manager app (UI only)

⚠️ Not Yet Working:

  • Network audio (RTP engine compiled but not integrated)
  • Actual AES67/RAVENNA/Dante stream connectivity
  • PTP synchronization
  • Stream discovery
  • Channel mapping functionality

Why This Exists:
AES67 network audio is widely used in broadcast and live sound, but macOS lacks a free, open-source driver. This project aims to provide that solution. Commercial options exist but are expensive and proprietary.

Installation

  1. Download AES67Driver-Complete-1.0.8-arm64.pkg
  2. Double-click to install (requires admin password)
  3. Look for "AES67 Device" in System Settings → Sound

Note: This is for testing and development only. Not recommended for any production use.

System Requirements

  • macOS 13.0+ (Ventura or later)
  • Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Mac
  • arm64 only (no Intel support)
