sound card

A sound card is a computer component that manages audio input and output, allowing your computer to produce clear sound and accept audio from microphones or other devices. It converts digital signals into audible sound for speakers and headphones, and converts sound into digital data for recording. Sound cards can be built-in (integrated) or separate (add-on), enhancing sound quality and reducing latency. They are essential for activities like listening to music, gaming, video editing, or recording audio, ensuring high-quality audio performance and accurate sound reproduction.
