Should I buy an external sound card or will the built-in one work?

In general, when recording on a microphone for 150 rubles, everything makes noise and rumbles.
I have a laptop. Hence and sound there built-in.
When recording with a bandicam, everything wheezes and makes noise, like on a take-off site.
Question... Does it depend on the sound or on the microphone?
And how to achieve clear sound recording from a laptop.
Goal: let's play...

If funds allow, then it’s definitely worth it, a friend has a professional external one, generally super, but he records music. If the arms are straight, you can even out the noise in the program. A lot depends on the microphone, you can consider a microphone with a so-called spittle - it immediately sharply reduces the number of different blows of air from spitting, breathing. But with him, too, the distance must be kept correctly. In general, the cooler the technique, the less post-processing, well, or sit down specifically to study sound editors.

You need to turn off all other devices in the "RECORD":

You need to buy not a sound card, but a normal microphone. More precisely in the first place.

You need to attach a laptop and a microphone to the message. Without this, the question is incomplete and we can only guess.
For starters, it’s worth getting a normal microphone, and not something dubious for $ 2.3.

The sound depends on all elements of the path.
There is such a rule: GIGO (garbage in - garbage out).
You should start with soundproofing the room (no need to record near a loud refrigerator or fan), then:
a good directional microphone,
cords without electrical tape and self-made solders so that you don’t catch radio interference (XLR, for example),
a sound card with a bit rate of 24 or more (read the wiki on signal-to-noise ratio),
well-tuned wood and software,
competent post-processing with gates, equalizers and compressors.
Well, good clear diction is needed, of course. No need to rub your lips against the microphone and spit into it. The "spitter" was recommended above - this is a useful thing.
Regarding the title question - almost any built-in / compact equipment makes more noise than external, due to the lack of space for sufficient separation of elements and their isolation.

You may simply have an incompatibility between the microphone and the sound system. I faced this. Only replacing the microphone - at least temporarily take it somewhere.
And the price is not paramount here - in webcams and phones, there are cheap microphone capsules. If the microphone with the sound ear is correctly coordinated, then the sound should be sane anyway. Not QUALITATIVE, but sane - without much distortion. And all sorts of anti-puffs and narrow diagrams ... - this is the next step in the struggle for above-average quality.
