BABBLE CONFUSION!

While an internal audio device is called "sound card"

But of course it's basically rubbish.

A "sound card" and an "audio interface" are completely the same.

Sound card is audio interface and audio interface is sound card.

No longer is that story, in the first place

But with such confusing habits, it can be difficult to understand people.

And that's not good

English-speaking people also apparently offen use the term "download" about the whole process of downloading a program AND installing it.

Of course, this is basically rubbish.

Downloading is one process, while installation is another process.

"I have downloadet the program.
But I can get nowhere"

"Then install it, too. It is not enough to download it"

[More to come, maybe]



Agreed. I'm american/english speaking and you are right about the difference. And, yes.. we were taught interface usually mean external but you are correct, internal or external, both are an interface. However Download, means only download. It does not include install.. but i can see room for confusion about this too.
