Notes:

  • Only USB 1.x audio devices are supported. No USB 2.0 audio devices are supported.

  • A USB 1.x audio device that is connected to a USB 2.0 hub, which is connected to a USB 2.0 port, can be used in the Solaris 10 and Solaris Express releases only. For more information, see usb_ac(7D) and usb_as(7D).

  • Devices that are not supported by a USB driver might have libusb applications such as gphoto2, gtkam, and pilotlink. For more information, refer to /usr/sfw/share/doc/libusb/libusb.txt.

  • Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 releases – For USB dual framework issues, refer to the following site:

    http://www.sun.com/io_technologies/usb/USB-Faq.html

For task information associated with mass storage devices, see Chapter 8, Using USB Devices (Tasks).
