What is a Sound Card (Audio Interface)?
A sound card is the piece of hardware in (or attached to) your computer that plays back and receives
audio. In the world of Mac
®
computers, this device is more often referred to as an “audio interface.” The
purpose of such a device is to convert audio from analog to digital (for recording into your computer)
and to convert digital audio to analog (to send to your speakers so you can hear it). Line 6 POD
Studio, TonePort, GuitarPort, POD X3 and PODxt devices all operate as USB sound cards, since they
utilize high performance audio drivers and can be accessed by any audio software on your Mac
®
or
Windows
®
computer for quality audio recording and playback. Additional information is provided in
the Recording Setup Guide on the POD Farm Online Help section of the Line 6 web site.
