If a Dante receiving device has a latency setting of 1 ms, and a transmitting device has the same latency setting, when will the audio playout of the receiving device occur?

When both the receiving and transmitting devices in a Dante network are set to a latency of 1 millisecond, the audio playout on the receiving device will occur 1 millisecond after the audio signal is transmitted from the sending device. This is because the latency setting primarily indicates the amount of time the devices will wait to buffer audio before playout takes place.

In this scenario, the transmitting device sends audio signals with its configured latency of 1 millisecond, which means it will hold audio for that duration before sending it across the network. The receiving device, set to the same latency, will then process and play out the audio it receives after also waiting its set amount of time. However, the total time from transmission to playout does not accumulate latency from both devices in a simple addition; it reflects the latency setting of the receiving device specifically once the audio arrives.

Thus, the audio playout occurs precisely 1 millisecond after it is transmitted, aligning with the configured latency of the receiving device, demonstrating how these settings work in conjunction to create immediate and synchronized audio playback in a Dante network.
