I would agree with sde on "have you done any troubleshooting?" The headphones thing is a good idea to try and rule out crappy speakers. If it's not the speakers then:
-Has the system always had garbled sound?
-If not, what hardware and/or software changes have you made recently. Maybe try putting it back to a configuration that worked will make it work again and you can pinpoint what caused the poor sound quality.
-Check to see if the sound card is seated in the motherboard properly. I've seen cases where hardware ALMOST functions but is a little off because it's not nice and snug.
