Hi, Actually I have recently purchased a set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers with sub-woofer and Creative SoundBlaster Omni Surround 5.1 external sound card for my two laptops. I have an L shaped desk and I can switch the ten port powered hub between the two laptops easily or just run one off of a smaller USB sound bar if I need them both up at the same time. >From a PC audio perspective I can tell you that on this sound system with the external sound card which has a microphone on it, Cortana not only sounds great but is very responsive. I use Jaws 16 and Windows 10 on this system and can lean back in my chair and speak with absolutely no effort to Cortana whatsoever. I know often people recommend the biggest boys on the block when it comes to sound but I was on a budget this time around. I paid $72 for the sound card, $310 for the speaker system at amazon here in the United States and I am very happy with the sound and the quality. I live in an apartment and will never be able to go past half volume probably without getting evicted anyway, laughs! But it might be worth it.
