What is an audio driver in a laptop, and how does it work?

297 views

I am into music production, and I always see that macs are better for this than PCs, even when the on-paper specs of the PC are better.

Often, people refer to the audio-driver and something about coreaudio. They say that the audio is on top of the OS for PC, and within the OS for Mac. I am so confused.

Please explain like I am five.

Your PC is made up of the physical components (hardware) and the programmes you install on the hard disk drives (software), the most important of which is the operating system (OS).

The driver is how the OS and hardware talk to one another and make things happen (in the sound card’s case, the audio driver is how the OS tells it what sounds to make).
