They are probably not 1200W, what is the brand and model? I have a 1200W Velodyne subwoofer and it shakes the entire house at 50% volume. No computer card would run that much power, you would need to go with an optical output to a high power amp/receiver and then to the speakers, which provides excellent sound for gaming.

I wouldn't use optical(S/PDIF) but go with HDMI if you can. S/PDIF has limitations compared to the better format which is HDMI.
A sound card or on board chip doesn't have an amp(just a headphone amp) to power regular speakers.

Like other posters asked, we need to know what computer you have and what speakers you are using.
