Wheatstone introduces a Linux audio driver for its WheatNet IP audio network this NAB show.
The audio driver enables bi-directional audio streaming over the WheatNet IP network and is the latest addition based on Linux OS by Wheatstone. Linux is known for its stability as an open-source operating system without the hidden vulnerabilities often associated with Windows® OS.
Wheatstone's programmable LXE console and streaming appliances are also based on Linux OS. “A Linux driver makes sense at this time as one more option for adding greater security and stability across the network,” said Kelly Parker, Wheatstone’s Director of Product Development.
The WheatNet IP Linux Audio Driver is available for purchase now and can be loaded onto any Linux or Windows device. It eliminates the need for soundcards by emulating the soundcard through a standard network card. The Linux audio driver supports up to 24 simultaneous audio streams in and out, depending on host capabilities, and 128 SLIO ports for extensive network-based logic control functions without physical cabling. Wheatstone will continue to offer its Windows audio driver.
Wheatstone will be showing its full line of WheatNet IP audio networking devices and capabilities at booth W1654 at NAB 2025.
