# Improving the QL’s Sound

In this article I will describe a couple of ways to improve the sound output of the QL. While I haven’t yet figured out a way to add a PC Soundblaster type board to the QL, what it does have can be improved with a few small changes. These changes can be done to any QL, stock to Gold Card equipped to QL’s in a PC case.
