Yes, exactly.  I have that same ALC65x in my system.  I had recently turned up

lower the sound acceleration one level at a time until it works properly.

Can I use it in a PCIe 1x slot?  Would it be an issue to buy this now for a 
PCI slot and later upgrade to a PCIe system?  It is $40, after all...

Thanks.
