m crazy about clean 2 channel sound output to my high-end Pioneer setup
(yes, it is possible..., IMHO).
Under XP I was able to get it with foobar software playing my flac
files. I used TUrtleBeach Micro Advantage USB sound card with optical
output which gave a desired clean sound.
Now I have completely migrated to Linux (LinuxMint distro) format, but
the TBMA has no linux driver and sound has a annoying clicking sound
(like playing old LP).
Can any gurus recommend a USB card solution (<$100 if possible) with
optical output for the Linux format?
I have old Chaintech AV710 sound card with optical output that I may try
if someone can verify it will work also.
thanks in advance, Merry X-mas.

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.

I don't understand this: If you don't use a driver, how do you get
sound even if it's clicking? (The TBMA generally is supported by the
snd-usb-audio driver according to The Internets.)

I had overlooked this detail before.
There is a driver, like Frank said, the snd-usb-audio driver (the one
for 99% of usb audio devices with linux). Does the "skipping sound"
get worse under higher system load? Try larger buffer size settings in
your sound server, and try switching to an RT kernel if you can. Try
booting a dyne:bolic livecd and see how your sound card sounds with
that system (dyne:bolic is designed for pro audio and ships with a
good RT kernel).
If your system is producing crappy sound with one usb soundcard,
switching to another card is probably not what is going to fix it.
