Hi,
I was wondering what sort of sound set-ups you all have on your PCs.
If you decided to post, then can you include the following?
1) Type of speakers.
2) Type of sound card.
3) Other sound accessories (such as microphone, headphones as extras to main speakers, ect😉.
4) Any other notes you want to add.

Thanks in advance guys/gals.
 
BTY. Heres mine.
1) Creative Labs Inspire 5300.
2) Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy 1
3) Philips Wireless Headphones.
 
5.1
nForce2 onboard - Epox 8RDA+, soon to be an board NFS-7 - the 8RDA+ in my secondary system died, so I'm just shuffling motherboards when I get the NFS-7
With that is a set of Logitech z-640's.
For headphones, I have a set of these, which I bought on sale for $4.95. Probably should have bought a few pairs actually. For volume control (the z-640's headphone jack has a static volume setting for some dumb reason), I had a (stupidly named) Wowthing laying around. And it can generate some decent sound for those headphones.
And I do have a cheap boom mic which gets light use.
 
Other:

Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Aiwa 360w home theatre system (2x 100w Subs, 2x35w Speakers, 1x40w Center) (not using the two surround speakers because I can't hear them over my other speakers)
and... i can't find my headphones :-(

2 speakers!!!! I don't game and don't watch movies anymore on the PC...that is what my thousands of dollars I threw into my home theater setup is for!!!! Anybody with 8 speakers around a PC and using 20" or less monitor is truly a geek!!!
 
Hooked through my 5.1 receiver.
1) Bose mix and match, 501 Fronts (JBL 100W sub)
2) Audigy2
Maybe someday I'll upgrade, now that I know enough to buy better speakers.

You kinda sound like a geek ^^
 
1) No, speakers (I'm a gamer 😱)
2) Creative Audigy 2 OEM
3) Sennheiser HD-570s (so good), Plantronics .Audio10 Microphone.
4) The headphones are the highlight, they sound so good and are really comfortable.
 
1. z560 Logitech
2. NV Soundstorm onboard
3. Johnson J-Station + J-8 foot controller for recording my instruments via s/pdif digital input.
4. Fernades Tremor 4 Deluxe Bass, Ovation 1861 Standard Balladeer and Schecter 006 Deluxe guitars.
 
Sansui 40 watt per channel stereo and 2 10" 3-way speakers for the front and two cheapo powered speakers for the rear on soundstorm on a ASUS A7N8X deluxe.
 
Audigy 2 Platinum, sending 5.1 analog to a couple JVC amps. Primary amp upscales to 7.1 and in conjunction with a 2nd amp sends it to 11 speakers and 2 subs. 4 front speakers, 1 center, 4 side speakers, 2 rear speakers. 2nd amp controls the extended surround and a dedicated subwoofer for them. Games are pretty good on the TV, but DTS-ES DVDs are where it really shines. 1260 watts sounds pretty impressive.
 
1) Boston Acoustics BA-735
2) TB Santa Cruz
3) Enermax front transfer ports with front headphone slot for my cheap budphones
4) My Boston speakers didn't work with my digital 8rda+ bracket spdif, so I had to use a santa cruz.
 
Headphones plugged into my Sound Blaster Live 5.1.

Not even good headphones, just some Jensen behind-the-head style $20 headphones.
Very little desk space you see.

 
1) Altec Lansing 251 5.1 speakers
2) nForce2 onboard sound via MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR mainboard
3) Line in from my secondary rig, using a Creative Labs Audigy
