I’ve considered buying a hardware accelerated soundcard in order to boost PC performance (and take all those calculations off of the CPU).

Anyway, I’m curious if this soundcard is hardware accelerated:

> **[RadioShack](https://www.radioshack.com/)**
>
> Radios • DIY Tools & Parts • Electronic Hobby/Maker Kits • Headphones • Cables & Adapters

The specifications were so ambiguous, I couldn’t even figure out the clock speeds and other basic facts about the sound card.

Would this soundcard improve performance significantly (I currently have no sound card)?
