Axia 3001-00057-100 IP-Audio Driver for Windows (4 I/O, Retail Version)

Direct PC Audio Networking over Livewire and AES67

The Axia 3001-00057-100 IP-Audio Driver for Windows is a retail software solution that allows a Windows PC to send and receive professional digital audio directly over an Axia Livewire+ AES67 network using standard Ethernet. It removes the need for traditional sound cards and analog cabling by treating the computer as a native network audio device within an IP-based broadcast or production environment.

Built for Modern Broadcast and Audio Production Workflows

Designed for radio studios, production rooms, and content creation facilities, this IP-Audio Driver integrates Windows-based playout, automation, and editing systems into Livewire and AES67 infrastructures. The PC becomes a flexible audio source and destination that can participate fully in network routing, monitoring, and recording workflows without additional hardware interfaces.

High Channel Count with Reliable Ethernet Transport

The driver supports multi-channel audio transmission over a single CAT-5 or CAT-6 Ethernet connection, enabling multiple stereo playback and record streams simultaneously. Audio is packetized and transported using industry-standard AoIP methods, allowing clean, low-latency audio exchange that scales easily as facilities grow or reconfigure.

AES67 Compliance and Precision Network Sync

With AES67 compatibility, the IP-Audio Driver supports PTP-based synchronization and flexible multicast or unicast RTP streaming. This ensures accurate timing, interoperability with third-party AES67 devices, and reliable audio performance across complex IP networks used in broadcast, live production, and enterprise audio systems.

Integrated Control and GPIO-Style Functions

Beyond audio transport, the driver supports network-based control functions similar to GPIO, enabling start, stop, and logic-style triggers over the same Ethernet connection. This allows automation systems and control software to exchange both audio and operational commands without additional wiring or interfaces.

Available in Multiple Stream Configurations

This retail version is offered as a 4-stream configuration, making it suitable for many common broadcast and production use cases. Higher channel-count versions are available through authorized partners for facilities that require expanded audio throughput, while maintaining the same Ethernet-based workflow.
