Two questions - how do you know if your computer has a sound card - do they all automatically have this or do you have to install it? Also, what does this symbol mean: ~

Most do have a card of sorts. If there are ports for input,mic & green one for speakers out the @least its set up for a card,most likely has one behind those ports.If you have a CD-ROM to play audio then there is a sound card connected to it.

Okay thanks ppl, about the sound card, are there specs for a sound card? Can't find this in my system info, or would it be called something else and where to find it (please don't laugh I'm not a computer technician lol that's why I'm here.) TIA.
