Analogue and Digital sound

[thegussbus]

Can you explain to me how sound is converted from analogue to digital.
Please don't just direct me to a website,
thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and direct you to a website. Because if you can't read a website with all the info you need you won't be able to read a technical answer here that will be more poorly written.

People are going to direct you to a website because the topic is big and complex enough to fill several chapters of a textbook. But here are some videos which may help you get the gist of what's going on without having to understand the math.

So this conversion is done through the use of a Digital to analogue converter device?

Or analogue to digital. It's all about resolving a voltage range to a specific number which is really simple

Now why you want to do that and what you want to do with it is a whole new issue
