i set up my Pentium 3 as another station now that i got rid of 2 large living room chairs , i like playing my old games sometimes , got win 98 on it

and its got my old soundblaster 16 sound card which is way better than these shitty sound cards in newer systems today , saw some sound amplifiers for computers and they look good if ya got 300 $ to spare for a really good one , need computer speakers for the Pentium 3 though , i got head phones plugged in and the sound turned up so i can hear it without actually having to wear them

Newer mobos just have integrated soundcards, but if you want the real deal you'll need an external DAC!

@SW-User explain external Dac

@FurryFace Most signals that come outta your PC are digital (0 and 1). That's a shitty waveform for music, because soundwaves are just that: waves. So a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) takes the shitty digital signal and turns into a sexy analog waveform. Obviously you need proper cables, speakers and soundfiles to actually make a difference, but it's so fucking worth it. My old teacher was an audiophile and he taught us about that kinda stuff, and one day he brought his old setup to school. Man that was some sexy sound. So rich and full, you could literally hear everything that was going on during recording.

@SW-User yeah the older sound cards had Punch , i used to convert files into wav format just to watch the wave as it played , creative software was good for that
