An audio output device, also known as a sound card or sound device, is a component of a computer or other electronic device that produces sound or audio signals.
Audio output devices can come in various forms, such as integrated speakers in a laptop, external speakers, headphones, or even a home theatre system. They can be connected to the computer through various ports, such as a 3.5mm audio jack, USB, or HDMI.
