My built in sound card has failed. The headphone jack does work. Is there any audio reason to get a usb sound card? If so, do you have recommendations for one?
My question is whether there is any advantage to a cheap USB sound card versus jsut using the headphone port. I don't think I need optical. I wasn't using it before.
What do you think?
Depends what you want, if the headphone jack works and gives you the quality you want stay with that.

Whether this or anything else works on Linux you need to consult the ALSA website.
FWIW from what you say I don't think you need optical either, It all depends on what you want to do.
