Sound Card
In order for your computer to produce sound, it will need to have a sound card/sound device installed. The onboard sound is usually enough for most computer users, but if you are:


  • a serious gamer


  • a musician


  • a music/film editor


  • a serious music lover


  • someone who already has surround speakers


It might be worthwhile purchasing a creative soundcard. Otherwise, you will probably be fine with the onboard sound, in that you will not notice a difference in sound quality.
