Hi,
I think you're better off by using your soundcard as a function generator.
You can also use a USB soundcard (if it must be USB).
You will probably (unless you have one with differential drivers) get no
differential signal as USB does.
As you don't tell any requirements regarding speed, this appears to be the
easiest way to make a USB Function Generator.
USB Controllers speak USB not PWM or anything similar. ;-)
