Your recommendation for internal PCI sound card and external USB sound card

[julesmanson]

The internal default speaker works but no signal for sound jacks for external amplified speakers. I wish to try two possible solutions.

Solutions

1a. check if this already ordered internal PCI sound card would work and fit with my equipment.

1b. if 1a is wrong is there one that might fit and work? (prefer under $25 at Amazon)

2. is there a USB sound card that might work with my equipment? (prefer under $20 at Amazon)

Note: prices not firm.

Operating System and Equipment

• Windows 10
• HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor
• Logitech Z533 120W 2-Speaker Stereo with Subwoofer
• ARTIX CL750 Adult & Kids Wired Headphones with Mic (alternate output)

I look forward to your answers. Thank you.

It looks like that soundcard should fit but its an HP-Pc so you never know.

Looking at your speaker spec, any external DAC with a headphone out (and or line out) should work.
I can't persoanlly recomand any in your price range since i never looked in to it myself. But as long as you read up on at least some tests of a device you find you should be ok
