.SH NAME
usb_ac \- USB audio control driver
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
sound-control@unit-address
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBusb_ac\fR driver is a USBA (Solaris USB Architecture) compliant client
driver that supports the \fIUSB Audio Class 1.0\fR specification.
.sp
.LP
The audio control driver is a USB class driver and offers functionality similar
to the \fBaudiocs\fR (sun4u) and \fBaudiots\fR (Sun Blade 100) drivers which
use the Solaris audio mixer framework (\fBmixer\fR(7I)). Unlike the
\fBaudiocs\fR and \fBaudiots\fR drivers, the USB audio device can have
play-only or record-only capability.
.sp
.LP
Drivers corresponding to other USB audio interfaces on the device, including
the \fBusb_as\fR(7D) audio streaming driver or the \fBhid\fR(7D) driver, are
plumbed under the USB audio control driver and do not directly interface with
user applications.
.sp
.LP
The \fBusb_ac\fR driver supports USB audio class compliant devices with a
feature unit.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
If a device is hot-removed while it is active, all subsequent opens returns
EIO. All other errors are defined in the \fBaudio\fR(7I) man page.
