Dante latency with MTRX
SOLVED
I know I am going to get roasted for admitting this but here goes … After setting up the entire studio again with my colleague after we had massive water damage from a leaky condensation water tank inside the ceiling  , I forgot to check whether the Dante headphone amp was connected via ethernet to the switch on my desk. As it turns out, it was not... That meant that the signals were taking a crazy route from the mic into the MTRX, then via my desktop switch to my hub, on to our router, then to my colleague's switch, and from there to the headphone amp... no wonder it was dropping packets like mad ☠️. it just didn't occur to me to check if the headphone amp was actually directly connected to my switch. Latency almost zero now and no dropouts. Greetings Hive Brain I am running Pro Tools 2022.3 with a MTRX with a Dante Brooklyn II card and getting massive (ca. 5 - 15 sec.) dropouts when tracking and/or playing back with Dante. I have tried different Dante latency settings but problem is always the same. All sample rates are identical across hardware/software. According to Dante Controller (latency tab graphic for my system), the MTRX has a latency of almost 50ms (not Us) and is dropping thousands of pakets each minute. I share the network with my studio colleague who is running an Antelope interface, a couple of Neutrik Dante interfaces, and a Sound Devices field recorder with Dante. Only the MTRX has this delay - I have toggled low-latency monitoring in Pro Tools but also no change. I also have the problem when only my system is running… NOTE: For unexplained reasons, I am unable to update the Dante Firmware to the latest version (I think my current version is 3.9.1 or similar). I am able to download the latest Dante firmware from the AVID or Audinate site, but it is greyed out when I select it as an update file and attempt to install it from the device list within Dadman. System info: OS 13.3.1 Ventura Avid MTRX running firmware version:0.3.1.1 HDX card in Avid-approved Sonnet III chassis HDX card Pro Tools 2023.3 Eucon version 2023.3 (all permissions given in System Preferences/accessibility) Dadman version: 5.6.7.1 Thanks for any advice!

Re: Dante latency with MTRX
What the heck is this?
MTRX version is currently 2.3.6.1 MTRX Studio version is currently 1.1.1.5 This is for the unit (not the Dante module). If you are really on a version such as this, then that's probably the reason you can't do a Dante update. Might want to fix the firmware on your main MTRX unit first.

Re: Dante latency with MTRX
Sorry for the confusion - according to the information in Dante Controller, my system is as follows:

Please do this: Open DADman File -> Device List ... Click on your MTRX unit Check MAIN BOARD , which firmware version? If cpufw is not 2.3.6.1 -> go to my.avid.com. -> view my products -> MTRX , download FW 2.3.6.1 Right click your MTRX unit in Device List in DADMAN , click 'Firmware update...' , click 'Find File' and select the file you downloaded from your my.avid.com Everything Dante YOU CAN NOT update through DADman please update MTRX FW first if not latest Then open Dante Controller, click the Dante Updater symbol (third one from the right) , let Dante Updater find firmware updates for your Penta 72x Dante card and update Dante card from there.

There can be a number of reasons for this, but the most common one is that one of the other Dante devices is set as "Clock leader" in the Dante network and the MTRX is set to Internal clock. On a sidenote, I strongly recommend that anybody venturing into the Dante world starts by taking the free online Dante Level 1 and Level 2 certifications available on the Audinate website.

Re: Dante latency with MTRX
What Jan says.
In DADman: bottom column, second tab 'Dante' , Sample Rate: follow, Latency: 250us , Preferred master: YES In Dante Controller: 3rd tab 'Clock Status' , check the box "Preferred Leader" for MTRX
