I have a USB wireless headset that I use, and I do have "Digital Output (S/PDIF) Built-in Audio" showing, even when headset receiver is not plugged in. When I plug it in, I get two of those entries, except it says "Plantronics Wireless Audio" instead of built-in. It has worked for playing sound through it. I also have an "Analogue Output" from Plantronics Wireless Audio listed. The headset does have a mic.
