Sound Formats

-Well now we need to know what formats are supported on a sound card. Its hard to figure out what everyone's sound card supports and doesn't support, but there are formats that are pretty universal. Some of these formats are MIDI, WAV, Wavtable, Direct Sound, and AC-3 to name a few. I will cover these for they are most likely what you have at home. There are a couple more formats out there that have been abandoned due to horrible sound. Lets look at the ones that stuck.

-Wave Audio, this is the most common type of Audio available on the sound card. Again we take analog information and use analog to digital converters to make it represent 0's and 1's for the computer. The quality of WAV files are great except that they are usually to BIG! Kind of a bummer really, but you have to pay for quality. In other formats the files size isn't so scary as is the WAV file. The file size can also depend on what the quality of the file was saved in. You can save some as CD-quality, Radio-Quality, and Telephone-quality in windows. Now of course the CD quality is the best and in 16 bit format may take up valuable space. Other than the CD you can save files as Radio and Telephone. This really reduces quality and store it in a 8 bit format.
