About a week ago my onboard sound stopped working. I've bought sound cards that seemed to match my motherboards requirements but neither of them worked. Please try to find a match for my motherboard. I can't use the PCI-E 2.0 16x because that's where my video card is connected, and for an unknown reason the sound card I got didn't fit.

That card should fit in the lowest slot on the board. It is not great, but should get the job done for sure.

You also have pci-e x1 slots that may be used for a card.

Please always verify that a card also meets your OS requirements(ie WinXP or Win8.1 ect). Reviews seem to indicate that card may not play well with Windows 7 with more than 4 gigabyes of memory. Not sure how accurate it is, but I have seen that issue with some TV cards.

Guh, I missed that PCI port at the bottom quickly glancing at the google result. Yes, it should work in the bottom port
