    You pretty much summed out what mini pci-e cards are available (tv tuner, robson, wireless, etc). I have personally never seen a mini pci-e sound card and I dont believe anyone currently makes one.

    If you had an internal sound card, how could you connect anything to it? All the ports/internal speakers are hard wired into the onboard sound card so it kinda wouldnt work...

    no mini pci and mini pci-e are different slots. mini pci is about twice the width of the mini pci-e
