what is a good but cheap sound card for the speakers
1990257
I am not that big into audio cards so I wouldn't know the perfect answer, but if you are to use these speakers, it would be best if you got a pretty good sound card that is pricier than the norm. Not top grade type of card, but somewhere mid ranged. Sorry, but I could not provide an example because of my inexperience, but check some cards out like these ones (if these are within your budget). FiiO E10 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132013. Hope I can help.

The quality of a sound card you may want will depend on the quality of the onboard sound your computer has. Recent and/or high end MOBOs have pretty decent onboard sound now and you would have to spend at least $150-$200 on a sound card to see any improvement. I got an ASUS Xonar Essence STX to power my SP2500 and the improvement over the onboard sound on my P9X79 WS MOBO, which had pretty good sound already, while nothing to sneeze at, still wasn't huge.

I'm using the sound blaster z and it sounds great. I don't know of a cheaper card. Check newegg.com and read peoples reviews.

Try Creative or Asus they have a range of prices. I will recommend a card starting at 40 or 50 dollars to get a decent quality sound.

What Brent said. Or get a audio interface. And connect them via 1/4" trs and USB. If your using these to make music I recommend the interface option as you'll want that for the sound card inside and it takes a load off your computer

I'm not a hardware wizard, but the sound card is a PCI or PCI-E, (same card different buss configuaration), and has no connection to an AGP graphics card slot or an "onboard" graphics processor.

Sorry. Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

Audio out on any system will work. You may need a spliter. One into two. Pretty cool.

Yeah it's cool to listen to music on computer with this card but you should have creative speaker too, i suggest T4 Wireless

You need an audio interface. Usually plugs in via USB. The. The speakers can conect to that. They connect via 1/4 inch cables. An interface will run you about 200 for a cheap one that's good enough.

This works with build in soundcards, but if you want better quality a dedicated sound card will make it better.

Go for a Personus audiobox, or m audio USB interface. Both are quite cheap and worth the money.

This is not intended to replace a sound card. I have the Creative sound card installed on my Vista desktop which works very well with my Bose sound system. The AXX is pricey, but are not most quality devices costly?

Not necessarily. A decent MOBO will have the channels to make it work but I use a Asus Xonar DGX with mine. Unless you are an audiophile any 5.1 sound card will be fine.

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

Only 5.1. Might try looking at HT Omega. Much better cards, better sound and real customer support. I returned this sound blaster card because my onboard sound was superior.

these will run fine with the onboard soundcard. they're easy to drive plugged into just about anything.

No... all external sound cards are desing for external speakers. Your internal speaker will only work with the internal sound card.
