Back when I wanted an USB sound card, I bought
"Creative Sound Blaster PLAY! 3" [1]. It works out of the box with Debian  
stable (back then it was Debian 10) and PulseAudio+ALSA. I did not check if  
any of the advertised advanced audio functionality (higher sampling rate  
etc.) work under LInux. Note also, that I used this with a desktop-style  
system and thus do not know about its power consumption.

I gather it is one of the more expensive ones. From my (limited) experience  
the audio quality is decent and it has a nice extra feature: The headphone  
plug supports 3-pole plugs as well as 4-pole plugs. I.e.: If you want to use  
your smartphone's 4-pole headset, it will work, too. It also has a dedicated  
microphone jack to use for "regular" PC headsets.

AFAICT, it should be available in America. I bought my one from a retail  
store in Germany, though.
