I've got a Shuttle XPC and was using the onboard sound. Since this
has a single PCI slot (which is already in use). Shuttle XPCs are
known for this as well and part of the problem is likely to be the

I'm afraid you've just confirmed one of the limitations of
ultra-compact computers.

There are a few. Unfortunately there hasn't been a lot of
intermediate ground between a full tower/desktop and something like
the shuttle for kit that takes 'desktop' rather than 'notebook' parts.
Since i'm using powered speakers the seperate sound card is actually
pretty convenient as it gives a volume control.
