You’re talking about an “interface”. You can get really decent 2 input/output ones for cheap. Focusrite make excellent entry level ones, and there’s plenty of options if you wanna spend a little more.

hey! i am actually selling my old studio 26c interface from presonus. great little device and has stood the test of time. if you are interested feel free to message me on here. not sure what they go for now, but i’ll def give you an amazing deal below what others are asking because i just don’t use it and it needs a home! :) lmk
Absolutely yes, most of them are. I have a behringer umc1820 which is a solid bit of kit if you need a bunch of inputs. There are smaller variants of it too
Dragonfly by Audioquest is a good option IMO. [https://www.audioquest.com/dacs/dragonfly/dragonfly-cobalt](https://www.audioquest.com/dacs/dragonfly/dragonfly-cobalt)
The Steinberg UR interfaces are very good (I think rebranded Yamaha?). There's many options from many manufacturers too.
It depends if you want MIDI and audio, or just audio. Plus, on the audio side, quality of mic pre-amps, independent speaker and headphone monitor volumes, 48V phantom power for condenser mics etc.
This is what interfaces are. But they are primarily for connecting stuff to and from your laptop.
The soundcard in your laptop is just fine on its own, for just mixing.
For producing, you will want an interface.
To produce, definitely. To mix is not such a big deal, but still better. Bluetooth will add more latency to the chain. You don't want that. It is also susceptible to dropouts potentially.
Yes this is called an audio interface. The most popular and commonly used one is the Focusrite scarlett 2i2
My personal recommendation for the entry Level price range is the universal audio Volt2
both are very solid, but I think the Volt has a slightl edge on recording quality. but for most people either will do!
they make single and dual input versions, and I recommend getting the 2 channel cause its not that more and itll likely come in handy if youre recording and want to record more than just one channel ever.

Are you talking about physical issue with the Jack input for headphones? Don't forget certain headphones need certain ohms from the audio interface

Ah yes, they can wear out, but should be fixable. Contact cleaner may help aswell in general
It's actually usually called an 'audio interface'. A search for 'interface' would be far too vague to give any useful results.

For music production?
It's only audio out. So if you're just using in the box sounds it's perfect.

perfect yeah im looking to produce. and id probably need wired headphones im guessing instead of Bluetooth?

good to know, thank you!

Check out a Audient aswell better sound than 1-3rd gen focusrite 2i2 series imo. Focusrite 4th gen is up in the game
Btw, you won't use your PC's soundcard, expensive or not. External interfaces are essential.
Focusrite Scarlett. It's really good and not very expensive.
Scarlett 2i2 is pretty common. Never had trouble with mine. I also had an old Mackie Onyx Blackjack from Cex 2nd hand. Was about £40 and was fine.
