Audio Input and Output • A sound card is an expansion card that records sound, saves it in a file on your hard drive, and plays it back • A computer’s CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is attached to the sound card internally • A sound card can be an expansion card or embedded on a motherboard Chapter 6: Supporting Input, Output, and Multimedia Devices
Sampling and Digitizing the Sound • The analog-to-digital converter digitizes the analog sound flowing to sound cards • Several factors in the sampling process affect the quality of the sound during playback: • Sampling rate • Audio resolution • Mono or stereo recording Chapter 6: Supporting Input, Output, and Multimedia Devices
MP3 Players • A popular audio compression method is MP3, a method that can reduce the size of a sound file to make it significantly smaller and easier to transfer to and from computers and audio devices, without much loss of quality • An MP3 playeris a device that plays MP3 files Chapter 6: Supporting Input, Output, and Multimedia Devices
Other Output Devices • Sends resistance to joystick or wheel in response to actions of user What is force feedback?
