Is there any reason i shouldn't be able to (fairly easily) use an internal sound card with Qubes? If not, any recommendations on sounds cards that work well with Qubes?
Thx!

Or USB as well, actually would one necessarily work/be more compatible than the other?

I can vouch for PCI based cards working fine. They operate in Dom0, so
the only requirement is Linux drivers. I'm using an older Asus Xonar
card, but You can probably find better than that.

As for USB, I'd expect they would work fine, assuming you can get the
audio stream to sys-usb or your USB controllers are active in Dom0. This
hasn't been implemented as a stardand feature, so it would be far more
restrictive than PCI.

Thank you good points and good to know, will try looking for fedora/soundcard reviews then.
