Quick question about how 3DS capture works

I recently ordered an installation kit for the original Nintendo DS since I didn't have a Nintendo 3DS.
(I take this opportunity to ask how long does this usually happen in Europe, in France more particularly, after purchase ?)

So there you have it, a week after buying the kit, I FINALLY managed to get a Nintendo 3DS, usually not having much money, I ordered a broken one that I had been trying to repair for several months. (So since yesterday it is possible for me to play my 3DS games that my girlfriend bought me, while I only had original DS)
Well, I haven't completely finished the console yet, I still have some adjustments, whether it's to fix the R button or... The sound. And that is precisely why I came to ask the question precisely.

The sound I got on the 3ds that I got is awful.
The sound does work though when I use headphones, that's why I was wondering if the capture card works more or less the same as the original ds, is it only placed on the motherboard ?
Or is it either a lot more complex than I think and the card goes beyond the motherboard and goes all the way to the top screen ?

And yet another question to be sure, because on my side, I really like to recover broken consoles (even if it's a console that I don't know) to try to fix it so that I can use it,
This is the case with this 3DS which I can use now, but since it's really DIY, is it a good idea to send this one in? I mean, even after adding the capture card, will it still be possible for me to try to fix it or will it be something more difficult ?

I really feel like if I send my console Loopy will look at it like that:

Are you trying to send a 3DS for a DS capture card installation?

Oh no no no !

I bought a capture kit for an original nintendo ds so that I could install it myself! But in the future, I would like to send my 3DS (the one I just repaired) to get a capture card, it seems to me that for the 3DS unlike the original DS, we can not do it ourselves

Sorry for not being very clear ><

Sounds like the speakers are bad? The 3DS capture card grabs a digital audio signal from the motherboard. What it sounds like coming out of your 3DS shouldn't matter.

I've probably seen far worse. Don't worry about it.
