USB Audio
Neil Waldhauer:
I bought a Trond USB Audio Adapter, and it works just as Lars said. There is good sound, except for System Sounds.
Dave Yeo:
Did you plug it in and it just worked or did you have to do what?

Do system sounds not play at all or do they sound distorted?
Neil Waldhauer:
1. use multi-media install to remove uniaud
2. reboot
3. use multi-media install to install usbaudio files
4. reboot again
System sounds sound distorted. Actually that may be understating it. If you are familiar with waveform generators, you may be able to recognize distorted system sounds. Otherwise, you hear "sput".
added bonus, USB ports are on the back and front, so now my wiring is more orderly.

The CM108 chip in the Trend only appears to support the playback of 16 bit 44.1 and 48kHz PCM data, so the 10 & 20 kHz system audio files sound distorted for that reason, while a frequency converter in the system would fix that, a simpler solution is to replace the system sound files with 16bit 44.1kHz versions.
