This is used in sound cards that support both audio in and out, for instance. Hardware audio codecs send and receive digital data using buses such as AC-Link , I²S , SPI , I²C , etc. Most commonly the digital data is linear PCM , and this is the only format that most codecs support, but some legacy codecs support other formats such as G.711 ...
Audio compression may refer to: Audio compression (data) , a type of lossy or lossless compression in which the amount of data in a recorded waveform is reduced to differing extents for transmission respectively with or without some loss of quality, used in CD and MP3 encoding, Internet radio, and the like
A lossless audio coding format reduces the total data needed to represent a sound but can be de-coded to its original, uncompressed form. A lossy audio coding format additionally reduces the bit resolution of the sound on top of compression, which results in far less data at the cost of irretrievably lost information.

The 'Music' category is merely a guideline on commercialized uses of a particular format, not a technical assessment of its capabilities. For example, MP3 and AAC dominate the personal audio market in terms of market share, though many other formats are comparably well suited to fill this role from a purely technical standpoint.
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is an audio coding standard for lossy digital audio compression.It was designed to be the successor of the MP3 format and generally achieves higher sound quality than MP3 at the same bit rate.
Upward compression increases the volume of quiet sounds below a certain threshold. The louder sounds above the threshold remain unaffected. Some compressors also have the ability to do the opposite of compression, namely expansion. Expansion increases the dynamic range of the audio signal. [3]
According to Apple, audio files compressed with its lossless codec will use up "about half the storage space" that the uncompressed data would require. Testers using a selection of music have found that compressed files are about 40% to 60% the size of the originals depending on the kind of music, which is similar to other lossless formats. [3] [4]
