Question How to connect PCI soundcard to HP Elitebook

[accessDatabase]

Hello,

My old Dell T3400 is starting to grind to a halt. Unfortunately it is the PC I use for home recording and was wondering if I might be able to use the sound card externally on my HP laptop? It doesn't have to be a fancy casing, it's more the adapter that I am looking to find. When I try to google for an adapter I end up getting lost and out of my depth.

Is it possible to connect an M-Audio 1010LT soundcard (PCI) to an HP Elitebook 8570w?

Here's what the soundcard looks like - https://www.gearslutz.com/board/reviews/715065-m-audio-delta-1010lt.html

And here's the spec for the Elitebook - http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03905828.pdf. It has eSata, ExpressCard, USB2 and USB3 ports.

Any help much appreciated!!

I'm afraid you need desktop computer with PCI interface (they're becoming rarity as well) in order to use your sound card. As mentioned above, there're products (with various level of success) enabling use of PCIexpress cards over USB, but I havent's seen anuthing for legacy PCI or ISA.

its easier to plug pci to pcie than otherway around, pci is jut low frequency parallel bus

to be honest, there is plethora of usb soundcards

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, Amazon says no-one has any or is willing to ship to UK (where I am).

Do any of the USB soundcards you mention have the same sort of capacity as a PCI card like the Delta 1010LT? Maybe I need to think about getting a new one with a more modern interface?
