What does the sound card do?

Answer 1

A soundcard is part of your hardware. It can be on-board, that means integrated into your mainboard, or it can be external. It generates sound, that you can hear by usually using some low-quality 3,5 mm-stereo jack speakers or headphones. The sound can be music or special effects of films or games.

Answer 2

A sound card is a computer hardware component which allows a computer system to playback and record sound. Most sound cards are also equipped with a rudimentary midi synth as well. Modern sound cards usually have surround-sound capability with up to 7 channels. Most modern motherboards come with onboard sound, sound which is built-in to the motherboard, many users find these onboard soundcards inadequate and replace them with an aftermarket add-on card. A sound card is a peripheral device that plugs into a slot on your motherboard and allows the computer to play sounds through your speakers.
A sound card is an optional electronic sub-assembly that you may add to the PC motherboard. These may be engineered to produce superior audio properties, when compared to the basic sound attributes native to the mother board.

Answer 3

Sound card (or Soundcard), sometimes called Audio Card, is an internal computer expansion card and integrated circuit (IC) that emulates and facilitates the input and output (I/O) of the computer that is controlled by a program. It has been used as a component of multimedia services such as audio and video editing, music composition, educational needs, and sound emulation. Sound cards must be connected on the expansion slots of the computer's motherboard such as PCI, ISA, and many more. A typical Sound card should have outlet for microphone, Sound in (where you the sound can be processed in), and Sound out (where sound has been projected).

eg: Allowing you to hear sounds from the computer and recording yourself with the help of a microphone.
