Will Windows accept AVB over Ethernet?

Post by TinenTech »

I'm a Mac person, so forgive me if this has been handled in the Windows forum somewhere. (I searched the forum for "AVB" and it says there are no results?? there are several in the titles of topics!)

A friend with a PC is interested in getting a MOTU interface. He has Thunderbolt, and USB, so he can connect that way. But hasn't anyone come up with a driver so that Windows can accept AVB audio over the Ethernet port the way that later Macs can? There are some notes on the Presonus site that point to third-party drivers, but it doesn't seem solid.
