Brings Windows 11 Support And Provides Several Quality Fixes For Windows

Bug fixes

• SODA-1303: DVS had issues with enrolling into a DDM
• SODA-1357: The DVS GUI would accept lower case letters in the product key, but the license server would return the product key as invalid
• DS-372: If the name of the Network Interface that DVS is using was changed whilst DVS is running, and then the computer was rebooted, DVS could become unusable
• DS-407: The WDM driver did not show in the Windows 11 audio devices list

Open issues

• PCS-1611 / PCS-2567: In DDM networks, on domain enroll/un-enroll with 'clear config' ed, some DVS control panel settings (e.g. sample rate, encoding, latency) are not automatically cleared. Workaround: Manually reset the required settings after enrolling/un-enrolling DVS.
• DVS-521 / DVS-595: When enrolled in DDM, domain information in the UI may not be accurate (the DDM IP address may be displayed as N/A, and the DDM hostname may not appear).
• DVS-594: When enrolled in DDM, changing the DDM hostname may cause DVS to present in DDM as 'offline'. Workaround: Clear domain credentials in DVS, 'forget' the device in DDM and restart DVS.
• DVS-542: For computers with multiple network interfaces connected to different Dante networks, DVS may present as a device on multiple networks.
• SODA-868: On rare occasions the DVS control panel will lose sync with the DVS service, showing a blank 'Dante Latency' and 'Network Interface', and the Start button will be greyed out. If a Network Interface is ed, the following warning may be presented: "Channel count reduced to 0 due to sample rate". Workaround: Restart the DVS control panel.1
• DS-81: Dante Virtual Soundcard may cause a system-level crash (BSOD) on rack-mounted Windows PCs with 10 GbE network interfaces. Noted particularly for the Dell Precision 3930.
• DS-442: After changing the sample rate or preferred encoding in Dante Controller, DVS might present the message: "This devices does not support sample rate/preferred encoding configuration". Workaround: Refresh Dante Controller.
• DS-524: If a system running DVS experiences a large time jump in the system time, DVS may mute the audio for a short period. Workaround: Ensure your clock is kept in regular sync / is not prone to regular, large changes.
• DS-613: If a user downgrades their version of DVS from this release to an earlier release, an activation error can occur. Please contact Audinate Technical Support if this occurs.
• DS-619: When first starting the DVS control panel, the user is warned about DVS being in an unlicensed state. The DVS control panel will not inform the user again that DVS is unlicensed. Workaround: License DVS.
• DS-620: If a user attempts to use the DVS 32-bit ASIO driver (the Dante device called "Dante Virtual Soundcard") and the 64-bit ASIO driver (called "Dante Virtual Soundcard (64x)") at the same time, undefined behavior can occur, including the first application stopping any active audio. Workaround: Only use one ASIO capable application at any one time.
• DS-624: After the initial install of DVS, if a user changes the sample rate of DVS before rebooting their system, the DVS soundcards may disappear from the Windows Sound Panel. Workaround: Stop and restart DVS, or restart your PC.
• DS-632: A 'license activation' error can continue to appear after an expired license is used. Workaround: Use a valid license.
