I found a Logitech Z312 speaker system at the OpShop for $5.......... So I am using that right now.......
View PC info
2nd Display: AOC AG271QG4 2560x1440 @ 144hz
TV/3rd Display: Hisense TV 4K@60hz
Soundcard: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB DAC
Headphones: Audio Technica ATH-M50X
- Love the ultrawide! Possibly starting to regret not getting a HDR monitor. I'm not sure i would notice much difference but it's always nice to have new stuff to play with.
Audio: Yamaha SRC20ABL Soundbar
- I replaced my aging Logitech Z-4 system with a soundbar. Mostly to save space (on the desktop and on the floor) and get rid of the excessive wiring required for separate speakers and subwoofer. Sounds pretty nice, probably the least worst of the soundbars.
Game audio comes out of a cheap pair of wired Koss Porta Pro headphones (because they're light and very comfortable), a pair of 20-year-old KEF Q-series shelf speakers fed by a Sony AV amp when I've got company, or a nice pair of AKG K712 Pro phones when I feel like it.
I've got a larger LG OLED TV for movies and shows in the living room, with KEF Q750 floor standers and a Cambridge Audio stereo amp for a better aural experience. I'm actually just getting a bunch of acoustic wall panels installed to make it even nicer.
As you can see, gaming gets a lower budget than other forms of entertainment these days. But I do plan to replace the dying TV with a new OLED screen of a similar size in the near future. And maybe I'll look into streaming some games to the living room setup at some point.

As for my TV, I just have a 40-inch 1080p Samsung from their boot jingle era. Used to have a cheapo 4K from LG but it was defective and I absolutely detest Smart TVs.
As for my audio setup, I'm using a wireless Logitech headset. The microphone broke one day, so I use a USB mic that sounds better anyways.

I have hopes that one day I'll be able to properly use the other color spaces on Wayland and calibrate my display...
I also have a 21-inch "business monitor" I use as a second monitor. ...and technically a Cintiq for a third monitor.
I wish KDE handled multiple monitors like GNOME. I need to pin windows on my secondary/tertiary monitors so they don't disappear when I switch desktops.
On the other hand, I recently acquired an $80 Creative sound bar, which produces better sound than the two speakers I inherited years ago while having fewer cables. And it has a remote! How handy. It doesn't seem to work from 10 meters away, though.
I used to have these really nice, comfortable headphones for the rare occasion I used them, but one of the speakers stopped working and I had to get new ones...they aren't comfortable but they were one of the few that were wired, and cost about as much as the old ones.
Input wise, I have a Blue Yeti but I'm now using a Rode Procaster with the Vocaster.
I also have an iMac from 2017 with macOS Sonoma for running Adobe programs.
You might try "Move to all Desktops" for this. My second monitor is used for chat and I have IRC, slack and Discord clients visible on all desktops this way.

There was a Plasma 5 extension that did this but it doesn't work on Plasma 6 as far as I can tell.
