Hello .I want to conect my assus xonar pci express x1 card to my laptop using the laptops USB 2.0 port. Will something like this do the job? https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-0-Pcie-PCI-E-Express-1x-To-16x-Extender-Riser-Card-Adapter-Power-BTC-Cable/282813557056?hash=item41d9006940:g:q3sAAOSwEVZaYEh9

No, this is not possible. Usb does not have pcie lanes so a pcie card will not work on it. The adapter you linked to uses a usb cable but it's not using usb protocols. It's just being used as a wire to connect the x1 part to the x16 part.
