To hear the music I recommend 5.1 or 2.1 speakers.
X.1 Speakers
X = number of speakers less subwoofer
1 = subwoofer ; 0 = no subwoofer
====================
Sound Card
The 7.1 cards are rated the best and are also compatible with 5.1 speakers. Some are also compatible with 2.1 speakers.

a sound card with 5.1 or higher digtal sound card will work. usually to record streaming audio you dont really need a sound card. you only need software to do that. if u r trying to obtain sound from youtube or anywhere like that is flash vid and you can not record quality sound from a web site. it will most likely be distorted.
