A decent store will let you do it, some place like West LA Music, just compile alsa with the snd-usb driver and then take it to the store, take an extra usb cable and then plug into the unit, you would also want to use headphones so you can see if the audio part is working right, try playing an mp3 on your laptop and if its like the quattro you'll hear sound coming out. PD is good for testing stuff, launch pd and see if you get midi input/output going on in the "test midi and audio" section under help.
