If you have the 4.1's then that card will work fine with the speakers. BUT, if you want superior sound, I would get any of the following. Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa Cruz ($79) sound card (amazingly clear and precise sound) the Philips Accoustic Edge ($79-89)(very clear sound, can do 5.1 channeling for future setups, not as powerful for super hardcore gamers but if you have at least 128 mb of ram and a 600Mhz CPU, you will be more than ok), or the Hercules Game Theater XP ($129) which has outputs and inputs galore! optical and coaxal digital inputs AND outputs, two midi's, more powerful than the AE, can do upt to 6.1 channeling, same chip as the Santa Cruz, just not as good of drivers, and has a daughterboard that holds all of the inputs na doutputs, including usb

If you just want beautiful sound for all applications (especially music), get the Santa Cruz. If you want a very solid, great overall card that can do 5.1 channeling in for future setups, get the Accoustic Edge. If you are an extreme gamer and want all of those inputs and outputs, get the GTXP.
