Audio and sound cards

Diy-Computer-Repair can help!

Sound, can you hear me now? Ah yes we have to have sound, music, bang, boom.

I like sound cards, Doom! was never the same when my Creative Labssound card sound card died.

The quality of the sound card and the speakers make all the difference. Consider the card and speaker setup as your stereo for your computer. If you use it for business, gaming, or music the quality that you install is the quality you will get out. I said my sound card died, it did, it could have been from heat (big killer of components) or over driving it. If you don't know about Doom!, it is a game that came out in the late '80's. Tons of monsters and lots of noise, loud noise. Some of the noise would over drive a high quality speaker, and the higher the volume the more power, the more power the more heat...........

I haven't had much luck with the built in sound devices on main boards, could be that the games I play have too much boom, bang? So I have a separate card for sound and high quality speakers that rival what the kids put in thier cars these days.

Sound cards can also be used to record sound or communicate with other people on the WWW. This gives you the option of live chat, or free phone calls (check out VPN). Lets say you have "Go to Meeting" or "Microsoft Net meeting" if you have a crappy sound card and headset the people you are talking to may misconstrue what you are saying if they can hear you at all.

The only problem with sound is quality equals money, you can scrimp on some components but sound is not one.
Headset
You will need speakers for normal day to day programs, games, and music. If you do meetings or chat then you will need a good to high quality headset with microphone, I don't recommend the desk microphones because they don't have nose canceling qualities that the head sets do.
