how can i plug my 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer into my 1 audio port on my motherboard?

i know i need to plug it into a amp or dac and then plug the dac into the motherboard but are there any good dacs or amps that wont break the bank but are very good quality? it would need an over all volume control and a bass control. please recommend some. thanks

There's some fairly cheap and great PCIe x1 sound cards so you can always get one of those (Creative Soundblaster / Asus Xonar).

but i would like a physical sound controller on my desk with a left and right speaker along with a subwoofer input. i cant get regular amps because i have a standalone subwoofer.

It would help if you told us what speakers you were using. If the sub is self powered you need a sub out to connect it to, Something like this might work

They are not self powered. They all have male cables. On my current amp i have a left and right female port with another female port specifically for the subwoofer. It says subwoofer on the port.
