stupid sound card question

[MadMaXXX]

i have built in audio on my motherboard and lately i have been trying to get these guitar amp programs to work with no luck.

So, i think i need an external sound card correct?

What are these programs asking you to do?

well, they emulate a guitar amp through your computer

one of the proghrams did list a sound card as a requirement, that is why i started to think i needed an external one.

I actually got one to work, but with a second delay. So, i think i do need an external sound card and a decent one at that because i read some stuff and people with crappy sound cards experienced similar performance as i did with the sound built into the motherboard

if anyone has had any experience with playing electric guitar through the computer post up
