Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to reduce audio streaming latency between audio and Gigabit Ethernet subsystems are disclosed herein. An example integrated circuit disclosed herein to process an audio stream associated with an endpoint device on a network includes an Ethernet subsystem to access the network and an audio subsystem to process audio data associated with the audio stream. The disclosed example integrated circuit also includes a direct hardware path between the Ethernet subsystem and the audio subsystem to exchange audio data between the Ethernet subsystem and the audio subsystem without the audio data being processed by a first software driver that is to provide access to the Ethernet subsystem or a second software driver that is to provide access to the audio subsystem.
