We are working on the explosion sound effect. Although I actually agree with you on that point V!NCENT, the combination of pretty much an all-frequency sound causes most speakers to crumble to it's knees. Especially since the sensitivity of most computer speakers is so low that it can't handle the granularity of the sounds.
I would personally like it if you were just have a switch in the options menu to toggle between "laptop speakers/earbubs" and "True sound".
I can imagine that a single or two speakers can cause problems. I don't have a problem with my current setup, which is far from audiophile...
I had a PCI soundcard in my previous PC, but when I upgraded my new motherboard didn't have a PCI slot so I had to use the onboard sound processer and it kicks ass, because on low volume it can output sound correctly.
My external amplifier is an old 5.2 DVD/CD/Radio set. The life of the lens has a few operating hours and is seen as a disposable part, just like a battery that you can't recharge, so I got this 'defect' set for free (get yourself a 'defect' one at eBay for 20 dollars or so). I thrown away the satalite speakers. This external amplifier has the option of setting the bass and treble from -4 to +4 each. It has circuitry so that I only hear the low frequencies from the sub speaker and only the mid from the mid and the high from the 'treble' speaker. I now have two original speaker boxes that each have a 'sub' for low frequencies and two 'satalite' speakers for the mid and high frequencies.
The cable to connect my onboard soundcard is a standard 5 dollar copper minijack to tulip (those red and white analog plugs, don't know what it's called in English). This is far from expensive and audiophile, eh?
I can rock the Cradle with rocket launchers with 10 players and play my own music. The music that I play is Hardstyle which is characterized by its extremely low frequency bass. Here is an example of what I blast through my speakers and still hear crystal clear sound:

never... and then I mean
never heard the sound crackle. Not even on +4 bass and +4 treble which I have on at all times.
What is audiophile? My dad has a last generation 2000 dollar costing Denon. The cables vacum. The sound is absolutely horrible, because I can literaly hear the mid frequency sounds comming from the enormous sub. And why? Because it's not a good product. Now
that is what I call audiophilism! And Denon is world famous for its audiophilistic fanbase that redicuslously claim to hear differences in sound quality. Well wake up; there is no such thing as sound quality. There is only incorrect sound and correct sound production. Period. You have capable and uncapable sound configurations. Get yours on eBay and Radioshack for a total of 30 dollars!
BTW, all frequency noise is is exactly analogous to White Noise (also known as SNOW on a TV) and we all know how that sounds
Background radiation?
I love the sound of illumination!
