if possible, could you also recommend a good sound card
for linux music creation (ALSA, multimedia, Rosegarden...)?

Not all sound cards are designed to drive speakers directly. If yours
is not, you're essentially trying to drive speakers with line level
outputs. That would explain the tinny sound. (Also you're trying to
drive a low-impedence device with a higher impedence output.)

Thanks for the reply. What are some excellent sound card with respect to sending signals to a stereo? I don't mind buying a great sound card; I just
don't know what I should be looking for.

Also, what exactly is "line level". I assume "speaker level" means a signal
with enough power delivery to drive a standard 8-ohm speaker?  I'm
embarrassingly unknowledgable about this subject. If you know of any good reading that can get me up to speed quickly (just purchased a home stereo
theater).

Many thanks!
Pete

you should write your own.
