to all technoweenies out there, what can you recommend for a 5.1 sound system for PC? I was planning to buy 5.1 speakers but unfortunately I still have to buy a 6 channel sound card. I a CMI sound card ok? How about Creative SB Live? Thanks!

well, if you the budget, you can go and buy the PC speaker made by Bose. It's simply two units plus optional subwoofer.

Personally, the paired speaker unit is powerful enough to disturb a seminar held across a hotel's ball room during COMDAP.

Of course it will not give you surround sound though.

No idea on price.

Altec lansing is already a tried and tested brand for the speakers... For sound car pwede na yung creative..

pag la ka talaga budget for high end multimedia speakers, puwede na yung Boka brand.

at the highest-end of the market, there's the Logiteh Z-680 (about P17,500) and the Creative MegaWorks 550THX (about P17,000). The Creative GigaWorks and Klipsch ProMedia Ultra series are even better and are available if you look hard enough i think.

At the lower-end, mas sulit yata yung Logitech Z-series (like the Z5300 [high-end pa rin], or Z-640) kesa Creative Inspire. hindi yata ok yung mga latest offerings ng Altec Lansing.

a possible alternative is a pair of good headphones... like the AKG K55/K66 (<P2,000) or Sennheiser 497 (P3,000). it's generally agreed that these have far superior sound quality than mid-range or budget 5.1 multimedia speaker systems.
