Projectors don’t have any audio. You need a seperate audio system. And for that it depends on how much you want to spend.
I would reccomend getting a surround sound reciever.
You can hook up all of your components (DVD, Computer, Xbox, etc) to your reciever and run only one cable from the reciever to the projector.
The reciever also will decode and amplify digital and anologe audio from your each compnent for speakers.
If sound quality isn’t as much of an issue, you can get a home theatre in a box (all speakers included), but If sound quality is important, you should buy each component separatly.
Klipsh, JBL, and Boston make good speakers.
harmon/kardon, Pioneer, and Yamaha make good recievers.
Find a place that allows you to listen to the speakers before you buy them. If they are already showing signs of wear on display, they probably arn’t good ones to buy.
Make sure your speakers are rated for the same impedance and have a higher maximum wattage than the reciever you pick.
Other tips:
Powered subwoofers are generally better than passive subwoofers.
Front fireing speakers are better for music than downfireing ones, but the opposite is true for gaming and movies.
