A sound server is software that manages the use of and access to audio devices, most notably, the soundcard. It usually runs as a background process. The term could also apply to a complete computer which is in a server role, dedicated to audio streaming or a networked or stand-alone appliance for playing sounds and sound files.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“There have been many stories told about the bottom, or rather no bottom, of this pond, which certainly had no foundation for themselves. It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
