Are you sure you haven't ommitted a k (ie, should your numbers be
khz ?)

Sound cards use capacitors in the signal path, so any DC level is
removed. This means also that there is a lower frequency limit
because of the highpass characteristic of the capacitor in line. The
lower cutoff frequency is card dependent. AFAIK most soundcards
cannot detect frequencies <= c. 20Hz
