SYNOPSIS
sound@unit-address
DESCRIPTION
The usb_as driver is a USBA (Solaris USB Architecture) compliant client
driver that supports the USB Audio Class 1.0 specification.
The usb_as driver processes audio data messages during play and record
and sets sample frequency, precision, encoding and other functions on
request from the USB audio control driver. See usb_ac(7D).
This driver is plumbed under the USB audio control driver and does not
directly interface with the user application.

DIAGNOSTICS
In addition to being logged, the following messages can appear on the
system console. All messages are formatted in the following manner:
Warning: <device path> (usb_as<instance num>): Error Message...
where <device path> is the physical path to the device in /devices
directory.
No bandwidth available.
There is no bandwidth available for the isochronous pipe. As a
result, no data is transferred during play and record.
Operating a full/high speed audio device on a high speed port is not
supported.
The USB software does not currently support full or high speed
audio devices connected to an external USB 2.0 hub that is linked
to a port of a USB 2.0 host controller. Audio devices must be con‐
nected directly to a port of a USB 2.0 controller or to any USB 1.1
port.
Cannot access device. Please reconnect <name>.
There was an error in accessing the device during reconnect. Please
reconnect the device.
Device is not identical to the previous one on this port. Please dis‐
connect and reconnect.
A USB audio streaming interface was hot-removed while open. A new
device was hot-inserted which is not identical to the original USB
audio device. Please disconnect the USB device and reconnect the
device to the same port.
NOTES
The USB audio streaming interface is power managed if the device is
idle.
