I tried using the search option but nothing came through...I may be a pleb and don't know how to use it
The problem is the following - Last week I upgraded my PC to a Ryzen configuration. Long story short, these new motherboards haven't got a PCI slot - which was very handy for an old Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer. I do understand it is an old sound card, but that thing ran rings around the onboard of both my old X58 and the Ryzen build. I have tried using modded drivers (namely Alan Finotty's) and although it improves the sound, it's still no where near where it should be.
I don't want to chuck my old sound card away, so I am looking at options of converting one of the PCI-E X1 slots into PCI compatible. I have come across a couple of options, but one has caught my eye:
Has anyone got any experience with such adapters?
PS. Maybe an alternative solution (A different soundcard?)
