If you don't have a sound card I would strongly suggest you invest in one of those.

I'd suggest the Logitech X-530 5.1 speaker set for 55 on newegg with a Creative X-Fi ExtremeGamer card for 80. That's 135 and another 15 or so for shipping. You'll love the speakers and sound card for games and especially for music. You don't realize how much of a difference it makes until you try it. I myself have the X-530s and love them.

Not a bad recommendation. If you don't have room for a 5.1 setup you can get really nice headphones for around 100. I suggest the Sennheiser 555. Of course you will want to pair those with a decent soundcard too.
