Hi

 

This should be possible but some problems are present on similar PCs. See this link for details: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Gaming-Desktops/Installing-a-soundcard-in-a-HP-omen-45L/td-p/8528620 

 

You may have an unsolvable problem when installing a discrete audio card.

I have tried various options thru links I have found in the community. None have worked. PC does not find audio card.

Contacted Creative support. They say it's a Motherboard issue

Hi

 

If you want better audio and you cannot use a discrete soundcard look at a USB DAC. You will also need a DAC having an integrated amplifier or a downstream amplifier as a standalone unit or an amp integrated in the speakers.
