How do I add an internal sound card to an HP Pavilion tp01-3055xt? The cabinet doesn't have the typical plate to remove for the card. Is there an adapter or a specific model of sound card?

Hi:

 

Watch this video:

 

HP Pavilion TP01-3003w Video Card SSD RAM Gaming Upgrades (youtube.com)

 

A lot of these new PC's don't have the removable PCI mounting bracket blanks anymore.

 

You have to snap off the metal plate covering the slot where you want to install an expansion card.

 

Looks like he had to wrestle with that metal plate to remove it, so be careful that you don't cut yourself on that sharp metal.

 

That section starts at approximately 9:58 into the video.
