I needed the jack to connect my PC (no HDMI) to my LCD TV, so I needed to replace the motherboard or buy a new PC. I've a (low end) Toshi laptop with a broken audio output jack that's a part of the motherboard. That said, despite my 24-plus years with computers and experimentation with speakers from high-end to low, I have *never* experienced the quality sound I now get with a sound card. So, I've got creds as both a geek and an audiophile.(The first horn's position is dead center in an orchestra/band, so we *know* what "perfect and balanced" sound like.) All of the above was preceded by a Julliard Scholarship (declined) and two summers as first french horn with the Boston Pops Summer Program. ~ University of Chicago), eventually making my first PC (including the motherboard) in 1989.
May I chime in? I first used computers when they were "room-sized monstrosities" (N.O.R.C. Will it work, and where can I get them and how do I choose what to buy for my computer? someone advised me to go for an external sound card with speakers. I am not able to listen to music with or without my head phones. Skype keeps telling me to check my sound card. Third-party components are available everywhere computer components are sold.
These can be disabled in order to use a superior third-party card purchased and installed separately, although the built-in device is likely adequate for those less fanatic about their sound quality. Many motherboards today have built-in sound cards. This is important to audiophiles and gamers alike. They also support surround sound for a high-quality audio experience. Generally, more expensive sound cards come with advanced software programs for editing and recording. Having these ports at the front of the computer in a bay, rather than at the back, is highly convenient for using the computer as a personal recording studio. Some include a front bay interface that might feature a second line-in, instrument ports for recording original music, a headphone jack with its own volume control, Firewire®, or other options. The card might include a digital sound port, midi interface or Sony-Philips Digital Interface Format (SPDIF) in/out ports.
Advanced devices come with added versatility for audiophiles.
