I have I-BALL wood pecker 2.1 speakers(offcourse made of wood).They are not good(weak bass,decent sound quality in spite of wooden casing).I too sugest u go 4 some creative model.I got them bundled with my branded pc.

The best soundcards are The Creative X-Fi series.
The X-Fi Elite Pro if for 20k
X-Fi Extreme Gamer for 8~9k
X-Fi Extreme Music is for 7~8k
Creative Audigy 4 : 5k
Creative Audigy 2 value : 1.8k
CMI X Meridian : 16k

Normally you do t need any dedicated sound card as onboard one is good enough unless you have good(costly) set of speakers

 

[bigdaddy486]

You are right..............
Even onboard soundcards support 7.1 channel speakers these days...........

Going for the XFi Elite Pro............looks sweet, and I'll bet sounds as
sweet...........

 

[CadCrazy]

For that you should have good speakers like Logitech Z-5500D costing arnd 25000/-

^yeah i second that.whats the point using cheap speakers on a high end sound card.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

Better get Bose, senheisser, or clipsch 5.1.
Clipsch pro Media Ultra 5.1 is a gr8 choice. Much better tha Z5500 or Megaworks M550 or Giga G750.

X Meridian is better on pure sound quality but it loses out to elite pro on features and connectivity options.

[apacheman]

Go 4 Logitech Z4
OR
Logitech Z-2300
OR
Altec Lansing MX-5021

i'll suggest buy and use ATP3 on onboard sound chip.
Then if feel u can always buy a sound card later.
