Did you implement a probe function for your device?
Very few drivers are loaded automatically but more as the process of
discoveriung devices is done. The Apple USB driver will match on any
device that is conformant to the USB spec (some USB audio interface
magic number I don't remember from the top of my head). If you want your
driver to beloaded instead , you can implement a probe function that
could check some specific USB property (name?) and return a higher score.

What is required in having a system automatically load a driver during
system startup or power on of the USB device? I can manually load and
unload the driver fine. And the driver KEXT is in the Extensions
directory. When I first started develoment on the driver, I remember
the
AppleUSBAudio driver would automatically load for our device. The Apple
driver is still in the Extensions directory. Even it doesn't auto load
any longer.
