Need Some New Speakers..

Well I found these 5.1 surround sound ones for $29 on newegg.com! not a bad price for 5.1, but I'm no speaker expert here so do any of yall think they are any good?

Click here to take a look


Right now I have a crappy 2 speaker set I got 4 years ago that came with an ol compaq presario. They are starting to give me random "noises" which is a sign of age I assume.

I want to keep the expense under $40 hopefully.


btw, what are the benifits of having a sound card as well? Will I need one for 5.1? Does the quality improve what... 10, 20, 30% in clarity?

They nice speakers.

If you have a 5.1 sound it depends what connectors and all that you have. My ON board 5.1 system had 2 front speakers in Line out socket then 2 back speakers on Line in socket and sub woofer and center on mic socket.

It depends what sorto f sound card some have a optical or coxial out that can plug into a Dolby Digital Decoder.

I'm actually thinkin about going slightly higher on the budget to get these instead:

Logitec 5.1 Surround for $49

would I need a sound card for these, since my Gigabyte mobo only has 3 audio slots..
input,output,mic.

If I do need a soundcard, is this one any good for the system mentioned above? :

If you want to use your mic ,your shit out of luck. You may have to install anouther cheap sound card to use the mic. I have a three speaker setup that sounds great .

Like i said before 3 outputs will work with a 5.1 system if your pc is that way.

Mine can its the Xear 3D woftware on my system that lets me config it all out.

Yes it will work , I was just wondering if he needs a mic. My sister was disapointed to find that on a brand new $1200 computer with 5.1 . That I had to install a $35.00 sound card so she could use a mic. Silly but true ,just a thought . :)




Edit : Wth a three piece speaker system you don't get the buzzing as well . :lol:

You could get a logictech camera some have the mic built in mine does and its plugged into one of my USB's.

I would ratherh ave the sound system than the mic. You are right a mic would not work if you used the system i could use.
