USB audio class
USB Class options enable CXN compatibility with both USB Audio 1.0 and
USB Audio 2.0 interface formats. The default setting is USB Audio 1.0 which
will work driverlessly with most operating systems for 16-24 bit content at
32-96kHz. Note USB Audio 2.0 requires a driver to be loaded for Windows.
Without this selecting USB Audio 2.0 will normally give no output. See earlier
section on USB Audio for advanced users.
