Wtf is a gaming sound card!

A sound card is a device you add to your motherboard if for some strange reason your motherboard doesn't have the ability to play sound already. I have literally never heard of anyone needing one since about 1995.

Maybe it's for a retro system? It's not exactly expensive.

Apparently having a dedicated sound card and high end audio equipment can improve the quality of the sound. You can chalk it up to audiophile stuff.

I'm not really an audiophile but switching to an external usb amp dac was a good decision.
