A sound card is a device that plugs into your motherboard to provide your system with sound. They are mostly PCI slotted and most motherboards have PCI slots on the boad for you to add devices. Once you have installed the card you will need to install the drivers for the sound card. If you don't have the driver CD then you will have to search the net for the drivers.

This is hardware that manipulates sounds. For standard computers, it has three slots; input, output, and microphone. The output is for the speakers or subwoofers, the input is an analog incase you don't have a CD-ROM on the computer, and the microphone, well you know it already.
