2.1 Creative, plugged into a Sound Blaster card! Not the best, but serves the purpose!

Good idea. But speaker matching is not good. Is that a SUB Woofer Or normal Woofer? If it is SUB woofer ur sound system is very very unbalance
Top 5 PC Sound Cards
Top 6 PC Sound Cards
The PC audio market is in a lot of flux right now with the upcoming changes from Windows Vista. Hardware acceleration is not directly supported but the OpenAL standard is looking to change that. The market has expanded away from Creative but they are still the biggest company. The audio role of the PC is increasing with people putting their audio collections in digital formats and hooking them up to home theater systems. With all these different capabilities in mind, here is my list for the best PC audio cards based upon my research and experience.
1 ) Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro Price Range $399.99 - 254.99
For the ultimate audio creation & home-theater solution!
Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ Elite Pro is the “top of the line” answer to those looking for the very best in audio creation and home entertainment - with all the power and features of the entire Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi family of sound cards bundled into one ultimate solution! These include 24-bit Crystalizer, CMSS-3D surround, and 3DMIDI. What you get is the greatest Xtreme Fidelity quality, crystal clear audio, with unbelievable surround sound - even for MIDI recordings. Unique to Sound Blaster Elite Pro are professional-quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and an incredible 116 dB SNR. Also providing for exceptional music creation are advanced features like 24-bit SoundFont sampling, ASIO ultra-low latency for precise recordings, a built-in pre-amp for direct recording, and high-impedance inputs for electric guitars.
PC gaming's never had it better too. You'll be amazed with the accuracy of EAX ADVANCED HD's breath-taking ambience reproduction. Take your game to a new level with X-RAM, the huge 64MB dedicated on-board audio memory for higher quality gaming audio and performance. Bring the cinema right to your living room - Sound Blaster X-Fi is THX certified and supports the latest home theater standards like Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES for a complete home entertainment solution.
Sound Blaster Elite Pro comes with an external I/O box that has comprehensive connections, easy-to-use knobs, a remote control, plus Creative MediaSource software to give you maximum control. The future of audio has arrived.
2 ) Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Price Range: $139.00 - $275.99
Creative has been in the market of hardware accelerated PC audio since its beginning. Now they are one of the last companies to offer hardware acceleration in a PC audio card with their latest X-Fi line. The Platinum model is not the highest model available but it does have a lot of features. Included with the card is a multimedia remote and an interconnect box to allow audio connections on the front of any desktop computer. This really is one of the best audio experiences available.
3 ) Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Price Range: $99.99 - $140.53
For those looking for high quality computer audio for gaming, movie watching or audio creation but don't need all the fancy add-ons that come in the more expensive X-Fi models, the Xtreme Music is an excellent choice. It has the same audio processor at the more expensive models so it can still do the various sampling rates, surround sound upmixing, surround simulation and 24-bit Crystalizer. Definitely an excellent choice for those looking to play PC games.
4 ) Auzentech HDA X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect Sound Card Price Range: $89.99 - $139.99
Computers are becoming a major component for home entertainment systems. The problem is most PC audio cards use individual audio connectors for each channel rather than a standard digital surround sound standard like Dolby Digital. That changed with the release of the X-Mystique card and now replaced by the higher end X-Plosion 7.1 card. The support of Dolby Digital Live allows the card to automatically encoded the audio from the computer to connect with a home theater Dolby Digital audio receiver for high quality surround experience.
5 ) TURTLE BEACH TBS-3300-01 Montego DDL Sound Card Price Range: $48.77 - $79.95
Like the X-Plosion audio card, the Turtle Beach Montego DDL card also supports the Dolby Digital Live for connecting to home theater systems. Unlike the X-Plosion card though, the Montego offers both an input and output optical SPD/IF connectors for more flexibility. Prices are roughly the same as well as features, so the choice really comes down to driver support and connectors that you might require.
6 ) M-Audio Revolution 5.1 Price Range: $79.00
If you don't require fancy surround sound support or hardware acceleration and want a reliable good quality audio card to replace the integrated audio solutions found on most desktop computers, the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 is the card for you. This is a great inexpensive audio card that works well for music, movies or even gaming thanks to the use of the VIA Envy GT audio processor.
