hmmmm the truth is that laptop sound is quite apalling generally, but you will not NEED a sound card for 2.1 speakers, however if you want nice sound you will WANT them. i think that you would be better off with the entry level external sound card from creative (forget which). and if you are looking at some 5.1's logitech has some from 50 dollars to THX standard ones up to 400 odd.

the external ones should be better value for money, but obviously they arent too good for travelling

its the audigy notebook 2zs i think, anyway it is quite expensive, and probably not worth it depending on the speakers you want
