SOUND+CARD

=SOUND CARD= Author: Renee.Cha A sound card, also called a "sound board", is a plug-in-card that helps a computer to record and play back sound. Sound cards are necessary for nearly all CD-ROMs. Sound cards use two basic methods to translate digital data into analog sounds. O ne is FM Synthesis, which mimics different musical instruments according to built-in formulas. The other one is Wavetable Synthesis, which relies on recordings of actual instruments to produce sound.
