Sound waves aren’t a digital standard so they used conversion

Answer:

Sound waves are analogue and therefore they need to be converted into binary in order for a computer to be able to process them. To do this, the computer must convert the waveform into a numerical representation so that the waveform can be stored digitally. For this, we use an Analogue-to-Digital Convertor (ADC).
