I agree with those who recommend Logitech. Specifically this model-

You don't need a special sound card to use these speakers; just go into "Sounds and Audio Devices" from control panel and reconfigure your 1/8 output to digital.

not all are created equal. You really need to listen to several to get a feel for how they sound.
I use a 5.1 card with optical outs going to a home theater receiver and speakers. Most would call it over kill but I had the system already and the sound is way better than any dedicated speaker set up.

I have a 5.1 surround sound system that is connected to my dvd/vcr combo, two game systems, tv and computer. To connect my computer I had to get a special Y-connector to plug in where speakers do on the rear of my computer that splits the sound into two rca connectors that will connect your rca cable to your surround sound. As far as volumes and quality, the higher the wattage the higher and better sound you'll get.

Logitech or similar,are surprisingly good.They should easily

I think it has to be kept in 'proportion.'
