How do you all control your volume in your cabs?

Funny you mention that - on the latest bartop, I tried plugging in an old set of Logitech Z-623's, sub and all, and they were ... marginally better than the standard 4" speakers I ended up going with. I really only used them for testing, but I think you're right, most of the classic games don't sound a lot better with heavier hardware.

It really depends on the game.
I don't think you're gonna get hi-fi theater like sound out of Pac man, no matter how much you spend on speakers.
However, with some kind of sub, you'll get a little more bass out of games that will benefit.
My speakers are far from hi-fi and the sub is small but its makes a nice little difference for bass

Volume2 is a similar free application that works perfectly. Allows volume controls to mapped to any buttons you choose.
Even better, you can still use it, if you include it in your startup script, while shelled in Windows 7.
