Weekend Open Forum: What's your PC audio setup?

I still have the Logitech booming Z680 system. Games and DVDs sound awesome and I always get neighboors complaining about the loud noise. Love 'em!

Just last month I upgraded my old 5.1 Altec Lansing that I've had for 5+ years to the Klipsh Promedia 2.1
Initially I figured I could get a cheap $50 speaker system and be satisfied with it, but after checking the demo units at Target, Walmart, Fry's and Best Buy, the Klipsch sound was dramatically better than any other 2.1 displays. The sound (IMO) was even better than the Bose speakers that retailed for twice their price. I really couldn't force myself to buy the $50 speakers after hearing these guys.
I'm only feeding onboard audio to them, but the sound quality is spectacular, I'm not sure if upgrading the sound card would have a noticeable improvement in audio quality, but thats what I initially thought about $50 speakers too.

Klipsch 2.1 With XFI fatality PCI at home when in office i have some creative 2.1 thru a xfi 5.1 usb for htpc have ati 5450 hdmi for pretty much all i need there!!

Optical output from my Gigabyte mobo to a Yamaha 5.1. It feels a bit excessive but it's an HTPC so it serves it's purpose.

Onboard sound with low cost headphones. I also have a non-powered speaker in case I want someone else to hear to sound, but it's not even hooked (and it's pink, 'cause that was the cheapest).

i'm using altec lansing 5.1 system

fatality headset and Very Cheap 2.1 speakers.

Logitech X540 no sound card just plugged into the motherboard

XFI!!

i love my xfi titanium, not only does this thing last for ever but amazing sound, i have the G13 5.1 surround system ( granted the Matrix sound options kinda suck and rear speakers are iffy at best but great sound like 300watts i think

well i have pc connected to home theater so i have 5.1 home theater 100wattts and making quite good sound (in my opinion)

I have the my motherboard's integrated sound outputting to an old Pioneer SX-450 Stereo. This powers two sets of speakers- some large Mirage SM .5 speakers which I use for music and movies, but are not by my computer. The second is a pair of Apple Pro speakers (made by harman kardon) which I rewired to fit the stereo. These are directly behind my monitors, and I use them for things like games and more day to day stuff.

I am using a Creative Audigy with my Altec Lansing MX5021 and it rocks. Playing games with a meagre setup is never interesting. If you have a good setup, you can enjoy playing for hours.
Well, i also have ahome theater but watchin blu ray and HD videos is not as easy on my PC and hence i still use my PC as my personal home theater and don't think this is gonna change any time soon

Asus Xonar D2 Audio Card hooked up to 505 Watt Logitech Z5500 Digital Speakers via Coax SPDIF. Full on 5.1 digital surround sound works like a beast!

I just upgraded to a HT Omega Claro Halo soundcard and picked up the HD555's from Sennheiser and I can say that there's no going back to onboard audio for me. The amp included on the card drives both the Sennheisers and my old Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker system robustly and without complaint; it's way, way, way better than regular onboard audio. I can't believe I was satisfied with the motherboard audio before. I'll never go back.

I have a 5.1 home theater and I believe it's "Feather" (i'm not at home), and a Sony Mdrxd100 headset. I used to have a Creative SoundBlaster Live 5.1 sound card, but not anymore, now I used realtek audio device. Both my headset and my home theater are pretty old, but I'm glad to have them, they have great sound and quality, and were affortable by that time I bought them.
When I want to get loud, I plug my computer to my brother's Philips stereo.

I use klipsch promedia 4.1 speakers connected to an auzentech x-fi prelude 7.1 soundcard. When I was shopping speakers, I chose the klipsch over a true 7.1 setup simply because I thought they sounded better than anything else at the time. I have had them for almost 6 years now, and they still perform beautifully. For my home theater setup, I have an Onkyo 8.1 receiver and Onkyo amp with klipsch wf-34 home theater speakers. If I can save some more cash, I plan on buying 2 more satellite speakers for the wf-34

I have the following setup for about six years.

Logitech's Z-2200 2.1 via Creative's SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS

I don't game but I do listen to a lot of music and appreciate the quality they offer. These really kick with 200W RMS.

logitech z-5300 5.1 and Rocketfish 5.1 sound card .. works decent for games and H-D tv or movies..
