First of all, actual sound cards are a thing of the past. Good quality audio interfaces are now built into modern processors, particularly i7 machines. Many computers are not sold with a piece of hardware for producing sound called a sound card. Further many audio interfaces sold connect to computers using the USB port rather than an internal card slot. I opted for this in 2014 when I bought a commercial audio interface that connects to my computer using USB rather than an internal card. I was running Windows 8.1 and needed a sighted person to configure the bios and the audio interface software of the new device. Both were inaccessible with a screen reader. However, this was a onetime configuration and I have never needed to touch them again.
