Do I need a soundcard to make VOIP work?

Question

I've set up my VOIP as instructed, but there is no sound when I test the phone. I read something about a soundcard, but not sure if I need one for this? Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

It depends on your equipment. Some work without your computer needing to be on, and just plug into your modem or router. Other systems require you to use a microphone connected to your computer or run a handset plugged in through your computer, in which case you will need a sound card or the sound chip integrated into most motherboards active and the drivers loaded.
