Re: [LAU] which USB card with optical out? - Linux-audio-user

Most USB 1.0 cards are class compliant devices. All class compliant
devices work under linux. If it does not need a special driver for
windows or macos, it is class compliant, and will work in linux.

  As will usually be mentioned when someone asks
about USB, any card
 that is class compliant usb 1.0 will work under linux, with no trouble
 whatsoever. This usually means any card that lists USB 1.0
 compatibility. I got a creative USB card a while back with
 rca/eighth-inch/optical IO for around $40 at Fry's. It worked just
 fine (though USB 1.0 does have a higher latency than firewire, of
 course). I don't remember the model, I am lending it to a friend, but
 there should be an equivalent out there now.  UCI Medical Center
