What should be done if a console set to "Enable Sync to External" is reintroduced to an original Dante system where it is not required?

When a console that is set to "Enable Sync to External" is brought back into a Dante system where external sync is not needed, it is essential to uncheck this setting in Dante Controller. This is because enabling external synchronization when it's not required can lead to potential discrepancies in timing and audio performance across the networked devices.

Dante networks rely on a specific clock master and a synchronized environment to ensure all devices operate in harmony. If a device is configured to sync to an external clock unnecessarily, it could conflict with the existing clock configuration of the Dante network, leading to issues such as audio dropouts, latency problems, or even complete communication failures between devices.

By unchecking "Enable Sync to External," you ensure that the console will instead synchronize with the Dante network's primary clock source, maintaining system integrity and ensuring seamless operation. This action is crucial for optimizing the performance of the entire digital audio network and allowing all devices to operate using the same clock reference.
