The CSL external USB 7.1 Surround sound card is compatible with a 5.1 audio system such as the Trust Gaming 21738 GXT 658 Tytan5.1 for surround sound. It supports up to 7.1 channels, so it can easily handle a 5.1 system by providing appropriate surround sound via its analogue outputs.
This sound card connects via USB 2.0, is plug-and-play, and offers dynamic 3D surround sound, enhancing the audio experience for games and multimedia. It has several 3.5 mm jack outputs for connecting the various speakers, which fits in well with the 5.1 configuration of the Trust Gaming GXT 658 Tytan.
According to the manufacturer and detailed product data, this is a CSL external USB sound card with 7.1 support. If you have a 7.1 speaker system or want to use 7.1 via headphones, you can configure the CSL card accordingly (e.g. via Windows sound settings or special software). It is designed for this on the hardware side.

The answer is probably no - in any case, I didn't find a compact USB sound card with a real line-in connection (stereo, blue-coded jack) back then either.
I have made recordings with this card from an old radio cassette player. Without any problems. Sometimes the plug connections are not optimal. Otherwise, the device is fine.
The sound card is almost certainly based on the Cmedia CM6206 chip. The same as this product from CSL:

This means that it is automatically recognised as an HID device and does not require any drivers. Windows XP can also handle HID devices. E.g. USB speakers are also automatically recognised by Windows XP.
Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about this because I use the sound card on a PC with Microsoft. We make multi-play recordings in a group using the Audacity software and this interface works perfectly without latency, with the exception that it has a low level of "self-humming". I also use it to digitise old records, cassettes and mini-discs.
