I'm getting a 27' Thunderbolt display tomorrow and I'm trying to select a USB sound card in Amazon for the display, I do not want to have the speaker wires all the way to my laptop and I'll love if I can connect them to the Thunderbolt, what is the best sound card for this?

How the speakers will operate? Will the regular volume functions in my MBP work with this usb sound card?

I'll appreciate your answers.
 
Are you talking about a USB sound card or speakers with a USB connection?

In either case, the volume control on the Mac should work.

The page you linked actually says "(The card is not Mac compatible.)" - I would take them at their word.

Thanks for catching that, can you recommend a compatible one? It s**** that the Thunderbolt $1000 does not have audio out.
 
Thank you, the price is good too but I just cannot find if it is Mac compatible anywhere.

How a USB card will work? When I wake up the MBP it will be automatically connected? No weird loud noises, etc? i just want to get rid of all wires and connect everything to the TACD
