Why not just get a reciever? They aren't that expensive. Use the optical out on the sound card and you're set. I suggest getting something decent, though. Glen recommends a set of computer speakers which aren't too bad either. Definitely cheap nowadays. I say if you have the speakers already, just get a reciever that can power them decently. You definitely don't want to get amps as those get expensive real quick

Definitely, and If he REALLY wants the pc to do some processing, just use analog in through hte receiver. Mostt all new recievers in the $200 price range have at LEAST 5.1 analog inputs
