I, too, did research when I bought a USB-based sound device - M-Audio Audiophile in my case - and discovered that the worse problem was contention on the USB bus rather than an issue with 1.0/2.0.
I ended up getting another USB controller card for the old Dell I use and isolated the M-Audio on it. This has worked well now for over 2 years.
Cheers,
David
