Sound Card
Some mainboards have build-in support
for sound. Highest quality sound is achieved by using a quality PCI
sound card. Many PCs for business use don’t even need sound. But,
sound is good for multimedia, action games, and listening to commentary
or music over the Internet. So, we’ll consider a quality sound
card or sound built into the mainboard a necessity.
If you plan to use Linux as your
operating system, you might want to avoid extra functionality, such
as sound, built into the mainboard. This is because Linux is sometimes
less capable of recognizing extra mainboard features, such as built-in
sound. This is less true today than it was in the past. Linux 9 immediately
recognized our system’s built-in sound.
