What is grafic card and its function?

It handles all computation to do with displaying a picture on the screen. It relieves the overhead on the main CPU and memory, by having it's own.

Most motherboards have a graphics chip, but a dedicated card is an improvement, for fast 3D graphics.

Will a mixer allow you to hook up your microphone to your laptop via usb and if so which cheap mixer is good?

What you need is an USB recording interface with a microphone preamp (like M-Audio Fast Track), they usually cost $100 and up.

Is 3d sound card the best audio?

Audio quality (or fidelity) and how and what we perceive good sound to be is very subjective to humans.

Most sound cards that are regarded as "the best" in the consumer or in the semi-professional market are designed to accurately reproduce the audio from the source (the computer,cd player, mp3, microphone) as accurately as possible without adding any modifications (artefacts) to the sound.

The idea is we hear the recording as the recording engineer intended.

Most 3D sound cards create the 3D spacial effect by using phase cancellation tricks, where they take a small amount of the audio from one channel, invert the phase and put it through the other channel. This cancellation of frequencies gives the listener the physco-acoustic effect of sound coming further out the speakers, perhaps even from behind the listener at some frequencies. This effect maybe regarded by some people as pleasing and desirable but by others (myself included) as a distortion to the sound and not something I would like to add to the sound.

Is 3D sound card the best audio? - It you think it is...it is! Human hearing is very subjective.

What do the numbers 32 and 64-bit refer to on a sound card?

The number of bits of data being processed by the card. This increases the number of channels as well as the fidelity a sound card is able to produce.

Which sound card do you use for Colonization?

Colonization, the classic strategy game, doesn't require a specific sound card as it was designed to work with standard sound hardware available during its release in the 1990s. Most modern computers can run the game using their built-in audio capabilities. If you're using an emulator or a DOSBox setup, any compatible sound card emulation should suffice for gameplay. For the best experience, ensure your system's audio drivers are updated.

Why would you choose to disable an embedded sound device and then add a sound card instead?

Embedded sound cards are frequently found to be poor quality, even on the premium brands of computer. Laptops are generally worse than desktops.


An external sound card will usually provide much better results, even if it one of the lower cost units. For studio work, spend $100 - $200 and you will have a card with great quality.

What is SMART hard disk?

S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology.

It is a monitoring system built into hard drives to detect failures and hard drive health. The practical use of S.M.A.R.T. is to predict possible hard drive failure before it happens. This allows the user to save data off the hard drive before it completely fails.

What is Audio Interface?

An audio interface allows you to connect instruments and mics to your computer via firewire of USB. These usually contain the a/d converters and eliminates the need for a sound card because the processing is done within the interface itself. Interfaces come in a variety of styles and sizes depending on what exactly you need. Personally I run the MBox 2 Mini. It has two 1/4" inputs and an XLR input as well as coming with Pro Tools LE.

Interfaces eliminate the need for a mixing console because all of your mixing can then be done within your computer. Personally I like being able to move faders and things like that, but for the price, I can live with just clicking and dragging. It makes editing incredibly simple.

What Are Some Examples of Input and Output Devices?

An Input device is a hardware component that is used to enter data and instructions into a computer.

There are three general types of Input devices:

1)Keyboards

2)Pointing devices(e.g:mouse,pointing stick,touch screen,graphic tablet, joy stick etc)

3)Source data entry devices(e.g:(1)scaning devices i.e;barcode reader,magnetic-ink character recognition reader(MICR), smart cards, imaging system, etc and (2)audio/video devicesi.e; audio input devices, video input devices and digital camera)

How are pitch and amplitude the same?

They aren't the same.

Imagine a water wave - the pitch (that is, the frequency) is the number of wave crests passing a fixed point per second. The amplitude is the height of the wave

For a sound wave, the pitch is again related to the number of wave crests per second that pass a fixed point. The amplitude in this case is a measure of pressure difference between wave maxima and minima.

How do you connect a usb sound card to a stereo for Internet radio?

The sound card takes data from the computer ... which came from the internet ...

makes sound from the data, and sends the sound back to the computer so that

you can listen to it through the computer's speakers or earphone jack.

The place you want to connect to the stereo is one of the little jacks on the computer

that's marked for either earphones or "line out".

The only problem you'll have is a minor one ... getting a cable made up with

the right kind of plugs on it, to fit the computer's output jack at one end and

the stereo's input jacks at the other end.
