If you get a DJ program on your computer such as Virtual DJ or Traktor, it will work fine without a sound card. If my computer has a sound card, why do I need to have a separate one for digital DJing? ![]() ![]() Your computer already has one built in: When you play a tune on iTunes, or watch a YouTube video, or make a Skype call, your computer’s sound card is turning the MP3, video or other person’s voice into sound.
