Hi David -
No problem. Softsynth = "Software Synthesizer" . This is just the ability
of the soundcard to produce sounds of its own - a synthesizer - when
triggered by something like MIDI device. I say "onboard" - maybe I should
have said "internal" - because many people who do need some kind of
sound-producing module opt for an external one since most of the soundcards
are pretty poor in this regard, although they can serve as a platform for
playing samples and soundfonts.
If all you need it for is to play recorded sounds and possibly to have an
analog/digital converter for recording sounds into the computer (which even
Windows has a bone-simple version of) , then it's a moot point.
