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

Question

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.
