The latest Switch firmware (4.0.0) now supports USB audio devices!
I have an in-line amp connected to my headset that takes in two audio channels -- one through USB audio and another through a standard male 3.5mm jack. The USB powers the in-line amp in addition to acting as another audio channel. Well, I typically have the USB plugged into the Switch's dock to power the amp while I use the 3.5mm jack to get audio. However, I started up my Switch earlier without plugging in the 3.5mm jack and I couldn't hear any audio through HDMI. I tried unplugging/replugging in stuff, but still nothing. Then I opened the Switch's quick select menu (hold Home button) and lo and behold, the audio slider had "USB" written under it! I tested and indeed, the audio was coming through the in-line amp's USB audio channel.

Notice how "USB" appears under the volume slider icon.
There you have it, USB audio on the Switch~
More audio options are always good
EDIT: Reformatted the OP to be more to-the-point.
