Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello all, 

 

my audio card does not support 7.1 surround sound as it does not have all the necessary slots for side/rear/c-sub ect.

im trying to locate an audio card that would be able to run on my current setup. What im running is stock, except i have expanded my memory and filled the empty RAM slots.

 

Thank you very much for your expertise!!😁

Its specs

It should have spare 1 PCI Express x1 (Gen3.0) slot which allows you to add a sound card. Worse case, you can use USB sound card for example
