Do I need a good sound card to rip CDs?

So I've started using Exact Audio Copy for ripping, but I still have an internal sound card.

I plan on listening to music on my iPod in my stereo anyway. So do I need a nice sound card to rip my store-bought CDs and get good audio in my FLAC files?

Very true.

The keyword here is 'sound'.

All computers come with built in 'rip' cards.... in your case it's EAC.

The only time a sound card comes into the mix is when 'it' is used to import information thru it. Either via digital or analog means.
