I know you guys are talking about using the analogue audio on the sound card, but don't forget, if you do happen to have an actual surround sound system like I said before, you can use the HDMI port on your graffics card. But if you aren't really picky about it being actually 5.1 sound, in other words, if you aren't too big on having 5 actual speakers around you, you can always use the Bose Companion 5 Multimedia system. I have it, and I love it. I mean, I would rather use their Lifestyle V35 system, but I can't get one too easly, it's $3000, and I sadly don't have a graffics card with an HDMI port on it. Yeah, I'd go HDMI. I'm done with analogue. Oh yeah, and some systems like Dain's Yamaha one also have that SPDIF connecter too for those that have a sound blaster card. I think it does any ways He can correct me on that.

I've been checking out the options and haven't found reasonably priced surround amps. They tend to cost more than recievers even though they are simpler. I think it's because they aren't so popular. I've chosen to look for real good powered speakers instead but again, the industry doesn't produce many high end speakers for general listening. They are either, cheep pc speakers, pc gamer speakers with lots of bass and sparckle, or near field studio monitors.
