Audio network system and method of detecting topology in audio signal transmitting system

An audio signal transmitting system, comprising:

• a transmitting device;
• and
• at least one receiving device connected to the transmitting device using a cable,
• wherein the transmitting device comprises:
• a clock generator that generates a first clock;
• a first period generator that repeatedly generates a first period on the basis of the first clock generated by the clock generator;
• an input section that inputs audio signals of a plurality of channels, the audio signals being synchronized with the first clock;
• and
• a transmitting section that generates a packet every first period generated by the first period generator and transmits the packet, the packet including a plurality of clock signals embedded at constant intervals each corresponding to a divisor of the first period and the audio signals of the plurality of channels inputted by the input section, and
• wherein the receiving device comprises:
• a receiving section that receives the packet transmitted by the transmitting device;
• a clock generator that generates a second clock on the basis of timing when the receiving section receives the plurality of clock signals embedded in the packet;
• and
• an output section that extracts an audio signal of one channel from the packet received by the receiving section, and outputs the extracted audio signal in synchronization with the second clock generated by the clock generator.
