Are there any USB speakers that can be used in QubesOS without any configuration?

You can use USB Class Compliant speakers, audio interfaces or headphones with Qubes OS if you properly setup a sys-audio Cube. You have to do the following:

  1. Read the speaker datasheet/specs before purchase and ensure it is USB Class Compliant. Many of them are USB Class Compliant which means they need no additional driver to work with Linux/Windows/MacOS. Ordinary ones are sold as USB Speakers and Pro-Audio ones are sold as USB Audio Monitors.

  2. You should read the community guide on setting up a dedicated sys-audio service cube. And ensure you could follow the steps to setup your own sys-audio cube. Otherwise it won’t work in all domains.
