An XLR jack is a largish jack. If you look at a high-quality mike you'll see that it's attached to its cord by this XLR plug. Standard sound cards will not have an XLR jack on them, typically (and this is what I do) you ahve a cord with an XLR female plug at one end that plugs into the mike, and a more conventional male plug on the other end for plugging into your nonprofessional audio equipment.
