Overview
IEC 62680-1-5:2019 is an international standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defining the USB Audio 3.0 device class. Part of the broader IEC 62680 series, this standard focuses on the essential capabilities and characteristics that audio devices must support to achieve compliance within the USB ecosystem. It applies to both standalone USB audio products and audio functions within composite devices, addressing both analog and digital audio data, as well as control mechanisms for aspects such as volume and tone. While comprehensive, the standard does not include features related to operating external media transport mechanisms, such as tape or CD-ROM controls.
By adopting the technical foundation laid by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), IEC 62680-1-5:2019 helps ensure hardware compatibility and interoperability for USB audio peripherals and integrated audio solutions.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC 62680 series is based on a series of specifications that were originally developed by the USB
Implementers Forum (USB-IF). These specifications were submitted to the IEC under the auspices of
a special agreement between the IEC and the USB-IF.
This standard is the USB-IF publication USB Device Class Definition for Audio Devices Release 3.0.
The USB Implementers Forum, Inc.(USB-IF) is a non-profit corporation founded by the group of
companies that developed the Universal Serial Bus specification. The USB-IF was formed to provide a
support organization and forum for the advancement and adoption of Universal Serial Bus technology.
The Forum facilitates the development of high-quality compatible USB peripherals (devices), and
promotes the benefits of USB and the quality of products that have passed compliance testing.
ANY USB SPECIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS", WITH NO WARRANTIES
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
