I'm looking into getting a small form factor PC and it doesn't have a PCI slot, only a PCIe 1x slot. Are there any decent sound cards out there that are PCIe and would the sound quality be any better than the onboard sound? Thanks for the input.
To my knowledge no one has released a PCIe sound card yet. You can use an external USB sound card. Yes such a thing exsists and they are reasonably priced too. Here is a link to the ones on Newegg.
