|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm snd_uaudio
|
|
.Nd USB audio and MIDI device driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device sound"
|
|
.Cd "device usb"
|
|
.Cd "device snd_uaudio"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
|
|
following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
snd_uaudio_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
audio class devices and
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
MIDI class devices.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Tn USB
|
|
audio device consists of a number of components:
|
|
input terminals (e.g.\& USB digital input), output terminals (e.g.\&
|
|
speakers), and a number of units in between (e.g.\& volume control).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Refer to the
|
|
.Ql USB Audio Class Specification
|
|
for more information.

The

.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in

|
.Fx 4.7 .

This manual page was adopted from
|

|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn PCM
|
|
framework in
|
|
.Fx
|
|
only supports synchronous device detach.
|
|
That means all mixer and DSP character devices belonging to a given
|
|
USB audio device must be closed when receiving an error on a DSP read,
|
|
a DSP write or a DSP IOCTL request.
|
|
Else the USB audio driver will wait for this to happen, preventing
|
|
enumeration of new devices on the parenting USB controller.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some USB audio devices might refuse to work properly unless the sample
|
|
rate is configured the same for both recording and playback, even if
|
|
only simplex is used.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Va dev.pcm.%d.[play|rec].vchanrate
|
|
sysctls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn PCM
|
|
framework in
|
|
.Fx
|
|
currently doesn't support the full set of USB audio mixer
|
|
controls.
|
|
Some mixer controls are only available as
|
|
.Va dev.pcm.%d.mixer
|
|
sysctls.
