Do sound cards make music sound better?

Oddly enough, I typed a whole explanation and then found this link for you and found that the link provided virtually the exact same information I provided below. So if you want the short version read my answer, or check out the excellent in-depth article at the link below: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/sound-... Sound cards are to sound what video cards are to video: they remove responsibility of sound processing from your CPU (central processor) and give it it's own processor to perform calculations. With this increase in power, your sound card has an enhanced ABILITY to add effects.

Such effects can be disabled easily (usually by access on the taskbar, in lower-right hand corner.) What a sound card can do: - add an equalizer to your system, allowing you manual control over all frequencies (i.e. Bass, mid-range, and treble) - add equalizer EFFECTS, for example my sound card can emulate a forest, a padded room, or even underwater - add 3D effects to emulate noises behind or beside the listener without the need for multiple speakers. - add advanced input to allow keyboard, guitar, and other various instrument inputs - provide multiple, more advanced outputs such as HDMI - add surround sound effects (such as Dolby 5.1 & 7.1) through both real and emulated modes What a sound card CANNOT do: - play music without a media player on your computer: a sound card cannot act as a media distributor.

- boost output wattage to any great value: a sound card is not an amplifier. - receive analog input through CD or any other media: a sound card is a purely digital INPUT device. Hope this helps!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
