I'll find out when I get home if it's the sound card or speakers (more likely build in amp) in the old Altec Lansings I have. They must be 14 years old. I suspect it is them. Anyway, just in case, anyone have any good reccomendations?

My roommate has this thing: http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/portable-audio-video/e96f/?srp=1

It's surprisingly powerful... but likely not what you're after

for that price you can get pretty kick ass speakers.

Before I got some nicer bookshelf speakers for my PC I had an old pair of Kenwood 6x9's from my sister's car hooked up to a receiver/amp combo plugged into my computer. I just screwed a few pieces of plywood together into boxes to mount the speakers.

You guys gotta remember I competed pro in car audio for 3 years. A hundred bucks for speakers is dirt cheap to me. Even the speakers in my boat are $800 German speakers.

You're right. Not what I'm after. I need a speaker system with a good bottom. Only gonna happen with a sub. I actually could build my own speaker system with speakers I have on hand, but I know I could get a good sound system cheap and fast. I'll keep my raw Mackie speakers for something else.

Got these for $55 bucks a month ago to replace the old 5.1's I've always used Creative.

I reckon it's the sound card. I plugged my headphones in I brought home from work. No sound. I'll pick up a cheap sound card.
