Yes, you can put an "external" soundcard in your PC even though you have an "internal" (Integrated into the motherboard) sound card. It is only suggested to disable the internal sound card thru Windows before you install the "external" sound card.
Currently, there are two versions of "external" soundcard that I have seen, one goes into the PCI slot of the computer, and the other one plugs into the USB slot. You can choose whatever you like.

Aren't you the philosophical one. I think you may have pegged me for someone without intelligence, maybe? Well, to assess your assessment, I must say that, while you do make a lot of poignant textbook points, I, my dear, am not your typical textbook case. I grew up in an affluent family. I've been modeling since I was 15 and I and am living a very priviledge lifestyle. And yes, I do have a college degree. I'm just a barracuda, honey. I like the conquest. If I want it, i'll take it. No questions asked. I"m sorry if you can't understand this frame of thinking. What you should do is be thankful that i'm far away in Florida or else i'd take your boyfriend, although I doubt he would meet my standard..I did say I was a professional model, right...

I have found that an 'external' sound card is actually an internally fitted one.
It means that the card is not part of the onboard system.
Most computers come with built-in onboard sound and graphics.
If you buy a sound or graphics card they need to be fitted to the motherboard but then are not 'internal' (the onboard and pre-fitted sound and graphics class as internal) You should have slots available on the motherboard (similar to memory slots for memory sticks) with a removable cover on the case at the rear.
Check your system book if you have one to determine the type you need or take it to a PC Doctor for them to check.
Fitting them isn't hard as long as you read the fitting instructions carefully and take precautions against static which may damage chips.

I've never heard of an external sound card. I await other answers to prove me wrong!

If your card is not working, try checking first to see if the driver's okay, if not download from the maker.
