On-board sound is basically your sound card attached to your motherboard.  A 
sound "card" is a seperate peice of equipment which typically goes into an 
ISA or PCI slot.  Onboard sound cannot be removed from the board, but the 
card can.  You can sometimes disable the onboard sound though (either through 
a jumper on the board, or in the BIOS) and then use a regular sound card.  
Onboard sound isn't really "that" bad since it doesn't steal any resources.  
Quality is sometimes something to be weary of though.
