Possible to output sound both to HDMI and Dante?

When using zoom room, is there some way to output sound both to through the HDMI output (or any other speaker output) as well as a Dante / Network audio?

Not natively, unfortunately - this is another one of those scenarios where a Zoom dev would say "but why would you ever need to do that?" - as AV people, we know that the answer is "doesn't matter, why won't you let me do things that should be possible?"

 

Anyway, once the audio is set to Dante, you have an insane number of options - you could route this to any number of breakout devices and embed back to HDMI, use as analog, etc., or route to DVS / Dante Via on the same computer and route to a second out that way. 

 

You could also enable NDI for the room and use that network audio (possible to break back into Dante) while setting your main audio output to something local (like HDMI). Lots of options.
