The Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) initiative, in combination with PC audio device technologies, is key to delivering a simple yet compelling user experience with current and future versions of the Microsoft Windows operating systems. Devices that meet UAA hardware requirements can take advantage of Microsoft-provided class drivers that provide complete driver support for audio devices for Windows.
This paper provides design guidelines for meeting UAA hardware requirements for USB audio, IEEE 1394 AV/C audio and Intel HD Audio. This information is intended for PC system manufacturers, BIOS developers, and manufacturers of PC audio devices.
This information applies for the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows 2000
