    I believe the only option your gonna have is to use the express card slot. There may be a USB solution as well. The only express card sound card I am aware of is the Sound Blaster Xi-Fi from Creative Labs.

    Is it compatible with XSP 1530 mobo?
    Can we insert it on our own or do we need to contact DELL?
