USB Audio Sound Adapter AUD-USB*RYF

This hardware is considered legacy. It holds historical significance for older systems that remain relevant for specific use cases despite their age. It may still be useful for specific purposes, such as coreboot, FSF RYF, retrofitting, or historical reference.

The AUD-USBCRYF and AUD-USBARYF are external USB audio adapters with a C-Media CM119 chip. Driver/firmware is already included in Linux 2.6.27+ (approx. post October 2008).

FSF RYF Certification
