Abstract
A codec architecture including an audio wave driver and a coded topology driver. The audio wave driver is communicatively coupled to an audio engine and an analog audio codec. The coded topology driver is communicatively coupled to the audio wave driver by a set of interfaces that enables streamlined code implementation, improved operation efficiency and power savings, while allowing vendors to supply differentiating functionality outside of the basic requirements of the operating system.
