Can anyone recommend a good sound card and computer speaker combination for music?
In my opinion, the answer to the original question is the speakers are more crucial than the sound card. I’m currently using my 2.1 Altec Lansing speakers from a 5 year old system that sound dynamite, no matter what sound card they’re connected to. I’ve heard that Klipsch speakers sound great, and they sell “scratch and dent” models for a pretty reasonable price in their online outlet.
