Bug Fixes:
- EMB-2859: Fixed an issue that meant audio subscriptions would fail to automatically restore if the PC was fully powered down & restarted (as opposed to soft restart).
- MIL-4634: The local control policy in the capability configuration for enrolled PCIe devices has been changed to read/write, allowing local controllers such as DAWs to change the PCIe card configuration.
Known Issues:
- EMB-2294: Unresolved subscriptions when changing Tx latency. Workaround: Reset the Rx side, either by rebooting or by unsubscribe, pause, then resubscribe all channels.
- EMB-2573 – Existing subscriptions that are lost when increasing the sample rate (due to reduced channel count) are automatically restored when reverting to the previous sample rate, but will be unsubscribed on reboot. Workaround: Re-subscribe the lost subscriptions.
- EMB-2308 – No latency info is displayed in Dante Controller when in redundant mode & the primary link is down
- #6612: Audio artefacts can arise when increasing the buffer size via a DAW on OS X (this currently appears to be an OS X issue)
- #7930: The PCIe driver does not communicate properly with the PCIe firmware. Scope: Windows and OS X. Situation: This occurs if the PCIe driver on the host computer is updated before the PCIe card firmware. Workaround: Update the the PCIe card firmware before updating the PCIe driver on the computer.
- #7822: PCIe hosted in Thunderbolt chassis can become unresponsive after waking from sleep. Scope: OS X. Workaround: Restart the PC.
- EM-2820: When connected to a Mac computer using a Thunderbolt chassis, the PCIe card can become unusable after rebooting the Mac. Scope: OS X. Workaround: With the chassis still be connected to the Mac via the Thunderbolt cable, power cycle the Thunderbolt chassis after the Mac has completed rebooting.
DDM Interoperation
- MIL-3505: Device will not pass audio if DDM is not present and it is rebooted with the primary unplugged
- MIL-3672: After clearing device config on enroll / un-enroll, no dashboard alert is presented indicating that the device must be rebooted to complete the clear config process.
- MIL-2854: Multicast flows not updated with secondary interface address in domain mode
