    So the E1705 only has an expresscard slot, rather than both expresscard and cardbus like a dv8000t for example. Is there any way to use a cardbus sound card for the E1705? (Audigy ZS is what I have in mind). Is there such a thing as a like, USB to cardbus adapter?

    I don't think it is possible

    But there are USB sound cards out there, so I would assume that USB has more than the bandwidth necessary for a sound card :( They have USB adapters to just about everything else...
