maybe 4 very cheap soundcards (or used ones ripped out of old
boxes)

> I heard of USB speakers, could this be a valid solution ?

they're basically usb audio devices with amp and speaker in one
box - so pretty much all of them work out of box (even the harman
kardon ones that don't work with windows)
