I noticed the majority of soundcards have tiny 100-220uf caps on them. Would changing them to larger values be beneficial to the sound?
Is it worth changing capacitors in soundcards?

Caps do make a difference, even if you were to change them to better caps, of the same value. But I'd take a look at the opamp, first.

NO!
Caps are designed to have those values to do certain things, for example a filter. Changing the values would change the whole filter characteristics.

If they are ps, ps by-pass caps, coupling caps, yes.
