Not sure what the resale is on that part, but I would suggest that it is worth having a nicer method to lift/send digital audio from a PC.
Most people swear by USB (due to the lack of limits as we go high bitrate and sample depth), but I would take COAX and or Fibre optic passout (even with their limits) due to already having some nice cables (ie not bargain basement stuff) for those formats.
Digital audio, especially super bandwidth formats, require a little more from a cable than the USB spec ever wanted to deliver. for printers, that can simply request a bad packet again, and have it resent, any old cable will do- it won’t make ANY difference.
For audio, the best bargain under the sun for USB cables would be the Schiit USB cable. Its a funny read and worth the price just for a laugh and a sense of feeling like ‘one less problem’.
In my present rig I spent five minutes trying to fix the USB audio problem. (Mostly cable remanagement, but a few filters etc as well), and that got rid of the OBVIOUS sound degradation. The Schiit USB cable would greatly ease my mind, and depending on your job, might be worth more than twenty minutes of your life lost, each time someone vacuums behind your PC/near the powerboards and has the USB cable start generating noise or sounding worse.

Not all motherboards are created equal, especially not with regards to USB implementation. If using motherboard USB output (which includes the ports on top/front of a computer), a little knowledge as to your mainboard and what is your best bet to use would be worthwhile.
OR you could use COAX output from an audio card (with design considerations going into build, etc and awareness of the horrid electrical environment found in PCs (noisy)); an audio card worth maybe $500 a few years ago, can often be found for pennies today, and the quality of their digital output can often be amazing.
Instead of people thinking I am nuts for believing in digital cables mattering; I am not. I AM a scientist.
I perform tests and observe and report.
Something, recently, which blew me away, was a Netgear EVA9000. It is a media playback box with a harddrive in it.. The TOSLINK output from that device gave the most amazing soundfield placement I had heard from a dolby digital device, since $3000 DVD players were a norm.
Sure digital is 0s and 1s,.. but the (acceptable)error rates build into modern world audio is incredible. Reducing the sheer number of screw ups (via cables and better power regulation/living on the moon) makes for massively better sound.
Most people won’t own the front end equipment to reveal the differences, but it isn’t to say that differences are not there.
...then i fuxxed sbx sorround because my in games settings they were wrong,in game like modern warfare 2019 with that audio settings which is the best for sorround accuracy?
