Sound Cards

Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer, for example,

Mouse- User interface Hardware

Processor- The 'brain' of the computer

Hard Drive- Stores data (your files and stuff)

Probably not as there can be a jumper on the motherboard telling it to use the on board sound or a card in a slot. Just like my very quiet Medion.

The sound card functions by converting digital data into analog information. It also converts analog data into digital data. The digital signal processor inside of the sound card is responsible for this.

You need to plug the speakers into a sound output plug on your computer; often, the speakers will also require a separate connection to a power source.

A sound card is a low-cost audio interface. All sound cards provide digital-to-analog conversion of audio waveform data. Most have analog-to-digital conversion from microphone and/or line-level inputs, as well. Some sound cards also produce waveforms from MIDI data, although that feature is rarely used, today.

Firewire and USB are just 2 different connectors for connecting something to the computer. Almost all computers have a USB input but most newer computers have a Firewire port too.

Depending on what USB or Firewire version you are using, the speed will be different. You want to use the one with the highest Mbps (megabytes per second) you can use. both your PC and your soundcard must use he same type. USB data transfer speeds:

1.1 - 1.5 MB/s

2.0 - 60 MB/s

Firewire transfer speeds: 100 - 12 MB/s 200 - 24 MB/s 400 - 49 MB/s 1600 - 196 MB/s

If you are trying to install a new soundcard, it is generally best to install it internally, that is, inside the computer as a PCI card. This will be much faster, cheaper, and the performance will be better. However, this is another matter altogether

There are a few different ways.

1. If your machine is a brand-name machine, you can search the manufacturers website for details on how your machine is configured. You should be able to find out what soundcard is in there from them.

2. You can open up the machine & if you dont have an onboard soundcard (a soundcard which is built into the motherboard) remove the soundcard and read the numbers off the chip. Usually the largest chip on the card has the numbers you need. If you are using onboard sound, you will need to find out the make and model of your motherboard and google that to find out what soundcard chipset is used on it.

3. You can download and run software to tell you what is in your machine. I frequently use a freeware program called "unknown device identifier" for this purpose. It will give you information on all the hardware in your pc, including your audio card. I will include a link below.

There is no difference between a laptop and desktop CPU. DIFFERENCE IN USE: LAPTOP - is intended for mobile people but in reality we put it at the top of table or desk - better we call it as "NOTEBOOK" only, then we have no problem in using it at the top of table. DESKTOP - is intended at the top of a desk, but in reality or mostly installed below or under the table or desk. Also they call it as CPU??? So what shall we call the real CPU (Processor) in the motherboard? POCKET PC - is intended for mobile people and to placed in jeans pocket, but in reality we put it in our clutch bag, etc. or at the side of belly belt… ADDITIONAL INFO: You will find and read this Warning in all Notebook User's Manual... DO NOT PUT THE NOTEBOOK PC ON YOUR LAP OR OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY TO AVOID INJURY FROM HEAT!

After the sound card is completely installed, Windows might detect additional devices. Sound card sometimes include embedded features, such as MIDI Wave Audio, SB16 Emulation, Game Port, and so on.

By basic definition a multimedia computer needs to have both Audio and Video capabilities. Today, even the most basic of computers meet the general requirements to be considered multimedia. However the quality of the multimedia experience is affected these components:

Processor/RAM: More powerful processors with more memory improve Gaming types of "media"

Graphics: If you are gaming or watching High Definition movies a better GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) will increase your frame-rate and give you higher resolutions along with optional features including multi-monitor support, HDMI output, 3D capability and on-board codec decompression which frees up your computer's main processor for other things.

Sound: Stereo output is the norm. But many sound cards are capable of full surround output up to 7.1 with either digital output through HDMI or optical TOSlinc.

Media Source: Your favorite movies and music have to come from somewhere, right? So your multimedia computer will usually have some sort of optical drive such as a CD, DVD or Bluray drive. Media can also be stored on flash drives, hard drives or streamed via Ethernet, wi-fi or other wired or wireless networks.

Software: I know, this is not "hardware" by it's very definition. But should be considered as well. A great multimedia computer is useless without the appropriate software. For instance, if you plan on playing Bluray movies in your computer, you will want research the few software suites that even support Bluray playback.

"State specification or special features of one hardware and compare it to previous model?"

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.

whow to give your thougts and what u want to get for ur thougts iscalld inputs

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

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.

yes

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.

As long as it has a PCI or PCIe bus on the board.

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.
