Others recommended USB sound modules to me when I was fighting some issues.
You may want to check the archives over the last 2-3 months.  My posts may
have been under allene.  That said, I have used my USB sound card, which was
actually built into my pre-amp, and it worked without too much trouble once
I figured out how to set USB as the default audio device.  There is some
command I can't remember that tells you what the USB card is called and
another to set it as default.  If you can't find it, ask again and either I
will try and find it or someone else that knows off the top of their head
will help you out.
