    Hi, I just recently bought the soundbaslter Audigy 2ZS and it will simply not fit in the slot on the right. Does anyone else have this problem?

    That's a PCMCIA card, you only have an expresscard slot. The two aren't interchangeable, you'll need to return the card.

    E1501 doesn't have a PCMCIA slot. It only come with a expresscard slot. You need PCMCIA to use this card.

    Well.... You can go with the soundblaster external USB that runs virtual 5.1 through 4 speakers, or a similar setup.
