     Ive always used creative and still have some SB Live plat on hand !  Looking at Surround Sound  Creative has the Gigaworks at $399.00 and Logitek has the 5500 at $273.00!! Both seem to be very good setups,as far as quality of sound and looks.When I can probabably go with Logitek5500 and Creative X-fi ! Well see.

    Onboard, with an Altec Lansing 2.1 speaker setup. My sister has offered me to trade her speakers with mine because hers are too loud.  Hers are a Boston Acoustic 5.1 set up, but I don't have a sound card worth playing them on. Plus they would be too loud in my apt.

    This is my Sig. There are many like it but this one is mine.

    OIIIIIIIIO

    Years ago I bought a really nice Altec-Lansing set of speakers - 4 satelites and a sub.  That's the great thing about speakers:  You invest one time big, and you don't need to upgrade again for a lonnnnng time.

    As for cards/chipsets, I have multiple sound cards in my system:  I have a relatively cheap Creative Labs CA106-based card attached to the speakers, and I configured my video and audio (Amarok) players to use that one for output.

    I have my headphones plugged into the SupremeFX II riser card (on-board audio for Asus Striker II Formula MB).  By setting it as the default sound card under Linux, I can use that for audio in all my games.  So, I can play music through my speakers, but use voice-chat over the microphone and in one ear.  I usually hate onboard audio, but the SupremeFX was the first one I was able to get the mic working perfectly with for CounterStrike:Source under Wine.  I believe it's using the HDA Intel/nVidia chipset driver.
