My sound card = deff fail...

So I bought a sound card like two weeks ago or something and I was all happy cause I could finally record sound! but I found out not to long after that you need to have the sound control all the way up!!!!!! I personally think A bunch of uncle bobs were responsible for this epic fail! so like two days ago I started looking for head phones and couldn't decide if I wanted ear buds or headphones, so it took me like a day to actually decide that I wanted earbuds; they costed like 7 dollars + tax and shipping which made them go pass 10$... sigh.. anyway they have volume control and I'm really hoping that it works well or I'm gonna blow up. So later that day I went to get a folder to store all my drawings in. Well we were at Office Deplox I saw some headphones with volume control! So if the earbuds I bought online fail I'll probably send them back and get one at the office and hopefully! I'll be able to record some videos with sound FINALLY! blargh!!! ><
