The sound card of a computer provides an output - speaker or headphone) and usually an input too - microphone.

Sound card also known as audio card is the main hardware for computer's input and output of sound. The sound card as stated can receive and transmit the sound but have to have audio speakers attached to the card. As for the input you can connect a microphone and another source of sound (tv, music system, etc).
You will need a sound card with a digital output (coaxial or optical) or a sound card with surround audio outputs and a receiver with 5.1 analog inputs to make it work.
