If you look through the other questions much of this will be explained also, but this will be a short-listing of kinds and brands of computer sound systems. Speaker systems come in sets of anywhere from 1 speaker to 7 speakers in most instances. The one-speaker systems are usually expensive because of the branding that goes along with them – as well as the ability to place all the components into one single instrument. 2 speaker systems will usually consist of a left and a right channel speaker. And then from there it usually consists of a sub-woofer and the rest of the speakers being satellites.

There are also some sound systems that include center channels. The center channel gives a unified sound with the satellites attributing to the ambience of sound. Some of these sound systems are simply just plugged into the sound jack in the computer, while others require to be also plugged into the wall. The ones that require an additional power source usually have more wattage going to the speakers.

Some of the most common sound speaker systems are:
Altec Lansing, Bose, Cyber Acoustics, Klipsch, Logitech, Panasonic, Sony, and Toshiba. In addition to these each retailer will probably have cheaper product line that is sometimes a much better deal, but just a little less quality than the big names.
