Send and Receive PC Audio on Axia Networks Without a Sound Card
The Axia IP-Audio Driver for Windows (24 I/O, OEM Version) is a software-only solution that replaces traditional sound cards, allowing Windows-based PCs to send and receive up to 24 stereo audio channels directly over Ethernet into Livewire+ AES67 networks. Whether you’re running automation systems, streaming audio applications, or recording workflows, this driver delivers professional-grade audio routing without requiring additional hardware.
Supports High-Density Audio Streaming Over Ethernet
Designed for use in professional broadcast environments, this OEM IP-Audio Driver supports 24 stereo input and 24 stereo output channels—perfect for automation systems and multi-stream operations. It uses a standard CAT-5 connection to interface with Axia Livewire+ networks, greatly reducing cabling, latency, and complexity compared to traditional sound card setups.
Ideal for OEMs and System Integrators
This version of the IP-Audio Driver is intended for OEM integration. It enables third-party developers and system integrators to include Axia Livewire+ AES67 connectivity in their own Windows-based products. The OEM license makes it easier to build fully networked solutions that meet modern AoIP standards and broadcast demands.
Native Compatibility With Livewire+ AES67 Infrastructure
The driver is fully compliant with Livewire+ AES67, ensuring seamless interoperability with other AoIP devices across your network. It supports stream advertising and discovery, allowing devices to find and communicate with each other without the need for manual configuration. This makes it an essential tool for broadcasters building flexible, scalable, IP-based studio infrastructure.
No Physical Hardware Means Easier Deployment and Maintenance
By eliminating the need for physical audio interfaces, the IP-Audio Driver simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points. With fewer moving parts and no dependency on specific hardware, it allows faster deployment and easier remote management, especially useful for virtualized systems or headless PC applications.
Flexible Channel Configuration With Professional Performance
The 24 I/O version gives engineers the flexibility to configure multiple audio streams for different functions—program playout, recording, ingest, and more—all from a single PC. With bit-for-bit uncompressed audio quality and low-latency performance, it matches or exceeds the reliability of traditional hardware-based solutions.
