Philip - you were having an issue with a Mac Mini and Dante using the standard Ethernet port. Did you investigate an external chassis with a Danta PCI card or are you using an Ethernet dongle from another port? I'm considering purchasing a new Mini to use with Dante and could use some more feedback from you on this.

Thanks!


Did some more testing today. Verified the network settings mentioned in the post Robert linked to no effect. Also checked dropping from 64x64 all the way down to 2x2 as referenced in the Audinate FAQ linked by Andrew and still didn't get clock sync.

Contacted Audinate and got the following:
Oh well,

Thanks

I haven’t tried the Dante PCIe card. We used person Ethernet to USB-C adapters to test but haven’t purchased any yet. The old computers still work and I only have so many hours in the day.

It’s also possible that the base 1G port works and the 10G like I have doesn’t even when running at only 1G

Hey Philip,

I have the exact same issue with a 10G port Mac Mini 10.14.6. All second MBP 10.13.6 sync fine. Mini sees network traffic but fails to sync the clock.

Have you found a solution or do you know if a new Mini with a standard 1G port works?

I normally use Waves SG drivers but had an instance to use DVS. I have yet to use WSG so I am now leary of this platform.

Thank you in advance.

We purchased USB-C to ethernet adapters and I haven't had time to check the new version of DVS on the internal interface.

Has anyone one had success or failure using the 2018 Mac Mini with Dante? I've puchased a pair with the built in 10G interface for my church and we can't get Dante going. I've not been the lead in trouble shooting but the person who is seems to have narrowed it down to PTP sync signals not getting though. AES 67 didn't work but AVB did. Dante did work on an USB-C adapter.

Any ideas or troubleshooting suggestions?

Thanks




This is a known issue with the new Mac mini 10g NICs.
Audinate says they are working on a fix for it .

Apparantly not yet... but the latest version of DVS (4.1.2.3. from 2021-04-21) shows in the changelog, that this is a known issue. There it says;
"SODA-972: The built-in Apple 10GbE network interface causes multiple leader clocks. Awaiting fix plan from Apple."

When upgrading to macOS 12 the issue should be fixed now:
"SODA-972: The built-in Apple 10GbE network interface was causing a multiple leader clock condition. This has now been fixed by Apple in macOS 12"
