    Resolved [RESOLVED] Looking for a sound card for desktop computer

    After contacting Dell technical support yesterday, they recommended to me that I get a sound card that is compatible for Windows 10. I'd like to stick with Creative Labs sound cards. However, I am not sure which one I should go for because there are several models. I know there are PCI and PCIe. I really get confused between these two. I want to make sure I get a sound card that will work for my system model. I have a Dell XPS 8500. I would like to get an internal sound card to be put into the computer.

    Do you any suggestions on which sound card I should get?

    According to the link under expansion slots you have PCIe.

    I found this sound card available. This is the one I might go for instead. What do you think about this one? BTW I got a Dell confirmation that my computer can use PCIe x16 slot to install the sound card. So you were right PCIe.
