I will admit that I don't have a "desktop" as such, I have a laptop. Whenever I'm not worried about privacy (i.e. in the privacy of my own room with the AC, air filter, etc running, I run the built-in system speakers at about 10% volume. Otherwise, I have a $5 set of headphones I jack in everywhere and every time I'm worried. They're retrofitted with a layer each of electrical tape and black duck tape on the outside of the earpieces, and I've "tested" them by blasting sound at 100% through them, and I can't hear them from 36" away.
