DC Measurements
Standard Windows sound cards do not respond to DC or frequencies lower than a few Hz. (See Why Sound Cards Block DC Signals below for explanation.)
There are two general approaches to get true DC response from a standard sound card: Modify the card, or add an external circuit to convert the DC into an AC signal which can be easily measured by an unmodified card.
