    There's some info on PCIe bifurcation/trifurcation on the Talos II (Lite):

    Well, the summary of that seems to state that the X8 slot could be bifurcated but the primary reason its problematic is that those lanes also control another device.
    I could use some information on that device and which lanes it is connect to (some or all).

    In any case, as the Talos II Lite has both USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections,sound via these is an option, as is sound from a Radeon HD HDMI output.
    What other devices do we need?
    I can run Linux from that combination without even using the X8 slot.
