I'll find out when I get home if it's the sound card or speakers (more likely build in amp) in the old Altec Lansings I have. They must be 14 years old. I suspect it is them. Anyway, just in case, anyone have any good reccomendations?

Before I got some nicer bookshelf speakers for my PC I had an old pair of Kenwood 6x9's from my sister's car hooked up to a receiver/amp combo plugged into my computer. I just screwed a few pieces of plywood together into boxes to mount the speakers.

You guys gotta remember I competed pro in car audio for 3 years. A hundred bucks for speakers is dirt cheap to me. Even the speakers in my boat are $800 German speakers.

You're right. Not what I'm after. I need a speaker system with a good bottom. Only gonna happen with a sub. I actually could build my own speaker system with speakers I have on hand, but I know I could get a good sound system cheap and fast. I'll keep my raw Mackie speakers for something else.

I reckon it's the sound card. I plugged my headphones in I brought home from work. No sound. I'll pick up a cheap sound card.

I thought that if you're spending less than $500 on a speaker system for your PC the cheapo sound cards do no better than the top dollar ones.

That is actually a decent deal even though more like $66 now.

Why not> I don't do 7.1 or ever 5.1. I don't like sound processing. Why pay for what I will not use? Anyway, it's neither the speakers or the sound card and frankly I don't know why it is.

Not true. You will never get sound staging from headphones. All you can get is quality sound with no interference from the outside. Spatial imaging is gone.

I have altec lansing speakers 2 smalls, 1 subwoofer on the floor -- that I paid about what you are asking about 10 years ago -- still in service.
If you got 14 years out of your last altecs and liked them -- I would say stick with the brand and look at what they have now in the same price range -- at least they seem to last.

Sounds like the same setup I have and they are still working...and it's not the sound card either. At this point I do not know what it is. If I can't figure it out I'll just use the computer with no sound.

Ah, I has this issue. Go into sound settings and make sure you have the proper speaker setup selected, ie 2.1, 5.1, etc.
It really jacked with my sound until I changed [it]. It defaults to something weird I can not remember.
