If AVB isn’t enabled: Continue to the next step.
Click Assist Me, then click Network in System Preferences (if necessary).
Click Advanced, click Hardware, then select the AVB/EAV Mode checkbox.
If the checkbox is dimmed, click the Configure pop-up menu, choose Manually, then select the AVB/EAV checkbox.
Click OK, click Apply, then close System Preferences.
In Audio MIDI Setup, in the Network Device Browser window, select the checkbox for the device you want to use.
If many devices are listed, you can sort the list or search for the device you want to use.
When you select a device, the Network Device Browser displays its capabilities, such as audio, video, and MIDI. The device is listed in the Audio Devices window, and can be set up like any other device.
To disconnect the device, deselect the checkbox in the Network Device Browser window.
