Your board has 2 x PCI Express x1 slot (one hidden by the graphics card) and one 1 x PCI slot (the big one). Look for a PCI-E x1 card, because PCI is outdated. Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio for example.
In addition, check if your default playback device is properly set in control panel / sound. The missing driver might in fact be the one for the hdmi of your graphics card.

Yes, but i don't like the "system builder editions" without driver DVD.
