Sound Card

[y4na]

If you are building a computer do you have to get a sound card?

[billygoat333]

simple answer? no.

either your motherboard will come with onboard audio or you just wont have sound, but you don't need a soundcard to have a computer run.

Just about all modern motherboards will have on-board sound, some of them with outstanding quality.
