Title: Soundcard
Post by: chris635 on September 02, 2013, 02:31:28 pm

Hey Shane,

  I need a sound card but my video cards (crossfire) block the PCI and PCIEx1 slot. I do have another PCIEx16 slot. Will a PCI x1 soundcard work in the x16 slot?

No, but you can get a sound card that would fit in those slots, here is an example

But I dont see any for a normal pcie slot.

Perhaps a usb sound card then?

That slot for the sound card is blocked. So that card you sent me could not be used in the pcie slot?

That card is a pcie x1 slot card.

This might help me get under my video for a connection. I think it's a viable option. What do you think?

I have a open slot in my case right above first video card. the X1 slot is under video card 1 but in the second slot position.
