Awesome Audio Over IP

A curated list of awesome Audio over IP and AES67 tools and resources.

In the professional audio sector, Audio over IP (AoIP) is about transmitting uncompressed, low-latency audio over an IP (layer 3) network. Popular examples of protocols are Dante, AES67 and Ravenna.

This list is short, partly due to excluding unmaintained projects. Check out the Footnotes section at the bottom and awesome-but-inactive, if you prefer a more lenient approach. In General, the AoIP ecosystem is still growing and there is rather sparse tooling available at the moment. Hence, if you find anything missing, it would delight me if you open a PR to add it.

Contributions welcome! Read the contribution guidelines first.

Tools

Network Audio Controller

Reverse engineered Dante Controller on the command line.

Pipewire AES67

Show AES67 streams as native audio devices on Linux.

Merging ALSA RAVENNA/AES67 Driver

Open source driver that doesn't accept contributions.

AES67 Linux Daemon

Fork of Merging's driver with an open source web server.

AES67 Monitor

Cross platform AES67 monitoring app.

JackTrip

An open source tool for transmitting real-time audio over LAN and WAN.

LinuxPTP

PTP IEEE 1588 for Linux. Provides various tools, e.g. `ptp4l` and `phc2sys`.

PAM

FOSS AES67 capable audio monitor.

Snapcast

FOSS project for a Sonos-like multiroom solution, using a custom TCP-based protocol.

Ravennakit SDK

Provides a cross-platform C++ SDK for professional networked audio using AES67, RAVENNA, and ST2110-30.

Inferno

Open source implementation of Dante AoIP in Rust ([GitHub mirror](https://github.com/teodly/inferno/)).

ROC-streaming

A tool for streaming audio over IP networks using UDP or RTP, specialized for real-time streaming. You write the stream to one end and read it from another end. Roc handles all the complexities.

Closed Source

Aneman

**A**udio **NE**twork **MAN**ager, the Ravenna equivalent for Dante controller.

PTP Track Hound

PTP network traffic analysis tool (cross-platform, basic free version available).

Education

Networked Audio Products

A census of AoIP products, conducted every year (current: [2025](https://rhconsulting.uk/blog/networked-audio-products-2025/)).

Dante Certification

Understanding Dante helps to understand AoIP. The training requires an account. I recommend lv 1 and lv 2.

Ravenna Resources

Webinars and slides by Andreas Hildebrand about Ravenna, AES67, SMPTE 2110, PTP and IPMX.

Connecting Dante with AES67

Setting up AES67 to and from a Dante devices. This guide by Yamaha contains intricacies missing in Audinate docs.
