For a tight budget id say you get the JBLs Northridge series because they are fairly decent sounding for a cheap price.

go to pro audio... very little sells for less than $500.

Assuming you are simply looking for sound, not looking for the latest, greatest theatre sound etc, just go get a card...to fit your budget. (in my case....as cheap as pssible!) \nsecond assumption, you actually have a sound card as against 'on-board' sound. If you cant find a card with the little coloured sockets on it, you have on-board sound, instead of 'removing the card' remove a blanking plate to enable you to fit a card.\nTo fit the card, remove the side (as you have) leave the PC plugged in but swirched off at the mains\nLooking at your mass inside the PC, the sound card is the one with little pink...blue...green...black... jack sockets on it, there may be others as well.\nRules of combat, one hand for you, one hand on the metal of the PC case, this will prevent 'static damage'\nOn the card, inside the PC, you will see a metal bracket with one cross head screw, loosen this screw and remove it...dont loose it, mind.\nGently, ease the card out. Now, refit the new card where the old one came from, secure with the screw. make sure the card is well seated in the socket.\nHave a cuppa, you did well.\nNow, restart the PC, install the software, follow the prompts...\nIf you originally had 'on-board sound' you will need to disable this in BIOS. Look to the motherboard manufacturers website for your motherboard manual if you have not got one.

If you're in the market, I wouldn't worry about it in terms of what brand to buy.  Choose your brand based on your other requirements... iTunes will work on about anything.  If you're that into your music, just make sure you have a great sound card and good speakers.

Your computer needs a sound card... obviously... Aside from that, I'm not certain if these are speakers that are designed to be used with a regular stereo? Doesn't matter really... alright...\n\nYou'll need a 1/8" male end to plug into your output on your sound card, and then a cable long enough to run to the input of your stereo receiver (provided this is what you have).  This might be a little tricky, as you might have binding posts RCA, TRS, or something else... so you'll need to take this into consideration.  Irregardless, you'll need to have something that takes the tip and ring portions of the 1/8" and splits them to the left and right channel respectively for the receiver inputs.  Past that... connect the rest of the sound system as you would normally to the receiver... \n\nIf you're using an amplifier, the speakers, and the computer, then you'll just take the output from the computer, again the 1/8" TRS male, and run a cable to the input of the amplifier, and again connect your speakers as usual.  If this still doens't help, e-mail me... You didn't provide a lot of information.\n\nSpeaker types, what you have in the way of amplifiers, recievers, or if these are powered wall mounts? What style of input connectors do you have? This is not really a complicated question, but it's hard to answer this when you're blind to the situation.  Peace... No point in guessing.

Sound cards vary depending on their quality. They also vary in price by how many channels they support, I.E. Some only support 5.1 surround, and others can handle 7.1. They generally vary in price from $50 - $200.\n\nNewEgg has great deals on computer hardware. I recommend buying from them, and you can browse through their products and read reviews of people who have purchased them.\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Category.asp?Category=36

well if your sure you have a good sound card that supports surround sound. then you need to access your card using device manager and go into properties, better yet i would call tech support for your sound card first and then the speakers support next. peace.

Get a new pair of speakers with new cables. I did that and it worked just fine. Hope this helps. Rock.

THX is a movie sound company created by Lucas Film Ltd. (THX is a reference to THX 1138 GL's first big movie) so if the speakers are THX certified the sound is on par with home speaker sytems and will produce very clear and amazing sounds but the speaker quality is only as good as the soundcard in your computer so make sure your soundcard is recent to get the best quality

Try Behringer , or Mackie - they make a pretty good variety of models just for what you need , good price too.

Analog speakers can be installed on any output component (audio card, stereo, DVD player...) and are cheaper, while digital speakers are often more expensive and require that you have a SPDIF connection from your output component (audio card, stereo, DVD player...) See Logitech Digital speaker specs in DigitalHome source link below.\nAlmost all output components have analog audio output. On most PC 's this output is green and labeled speaker out. Most digital outputs are optional and are usually a yellow coaxial.

Ampeg SVT is by far the best base amp.Try to find a good used one.The 8,10 inch speaker cabinet is like a wall of sound.\n        You might as well spend a little more now to get what you want or you'll regret it later.I'm a drummer but I also play base,so I can relate.
