maybe that isn't the right forum here to discuss that type of issue but i go mad with audio drops using the livewire enabled omnia.8x
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
we use a pair of machines equipped with the marvelous ip-audio driver running a broadcast playout application. machines are equipped with dedicated livewire nic's connected through 1000FDX to a dedicated ivewire hp layer2 switch hosting no additional traffic. we do use a 8x8 analog node to provide clocking. there is no special qos config currently.
it appears that livewire works fine while the omnia's are *not* connected to the switch and as long it comes to standardized streams (200 packets/s) produced by the ip-audio driver only.

problems occur if the omnia gets connected to the network. omnia.8x connects through 1000FDX as well as the playout machines. i recently found out that omnia out is always set to stream mode "live" (4000 packets/s) (not changeable i think). the omnia status page states frequent dsp underruns as well

it looks like the omnia produces a paket storm (the problems go bigger the more omnia output streams are configured out to livewire) which prevent some pakets with lower priority (i.e. streams produced by the ip-audio driver) to be switched successfully ?
are we running into a switch issue ? any ideas are welcome.
