No, you cannot remove a PCIe slot.
Hello! Yes, it’s doable. You can take out the 16x PCIe slot without damaging your board, especially since your case is compact. Just make sure to secure the new speaker properly and double-check connections.
You might be able to desolder electronics if you have relevant experience, but it’s a challenging process with a high risk of damaging your board. Proceed only if you truly understand the risks and have successfully done similar work before. Be aware that mistakes like lifting traces or breaking pads are possible, even for experts. Avoid attempting it unless you’re certain of handling it properly, and consider consulting a professional—just remember they can also cause damage.
