The Sound Card

Good music needs a good sound system. Most motherboards have the sound card embedded into the chipset. In the photo on this page, the Sound card is yellow, with three sound ports.

Red is for recording. The microphone goes here. Green means "Go." The speakers plug in here.

 

Onboard sound has plenty of power and engineering to provide excellent output. Some Sound Cards also have a port for a Joystick.

 

The Audio device properties can be found in the Control Panel in the Hardware and Sounds option. There is a link to the Properties, where you can review or update the Drivers.
