I am willing to bet that there is already one installed on your computer.
Most likely you just do not have the drivers installed. Check on the back of the computer, if you see headphone jacks, then you already have a sound card.
If that is the case, then all you need to do is go to the computer manufacturers website and download the sound drivers.
If not, you can find sound cards at any repair shop for around 10-20 bucks. Installing them is easy if you have ever installed a PCI card before.

Depends on where you shop, you can get a cheap one for less than $50. If all you want to hear is the bells and whistles the computer makes, go cheap.
Easy to install, if you are comfortable with opening your case and messing around inside.
Then you will have to install drivers. Pretty easy, but it might take some troubleshooting.
Like the one guy said, you computer might already have one installed. Look on the back and see if you see any jacks that look like head phone jacks, and that is probably your sound card. Most motherboards now-a-days have them built into them, so just look and see if you see those jacks in the back and if you do, try plugging in speakers to them.
Another way you can test it, download an audio file, like a wav or MP3, if you have a program that runs those files, your computer will give you an error telling you that it can't find a device. Then you will know for sure if you have a sound card or not.

A sound card costs about £20- £50 and it's very easy to fit just slot it into a spare pci slot turn computer on then install the sound drivers when windows says it's found new hardware
