How to Choose a Sound Card
If you're buying a computer at a retail store, you most likely won't have a choice in a sound card (also known as an audio card). Often, sound cards are built in to the motherboard and you won't have to fuss with making a selection.Simple Recommendation: Don't worry about a sound card. Your PC probably comes with one built in. If you're a hard-core gamer, however, you'll want an add-in sound card with fancy surround sound. For the rest of us, it probably suffices that we can plug in headphones and speakers.
