I recently purchased the steelseries sibera v/2 (w/ usb soundcard). Took me a few to get things working. I ended up going the analog route just for convienience. I have a splitter for headphones and speakers and its nice to not have to manually change between the two.

What I noticed is that my usb soundcard is still technically active even though I have the headset and speakers plugged into your standard jacks, not usb. Am I receiving the benefit from the usb soundcard even if my headset isn't plugged into it?

Just in case anyone stumbles across this.... Just move the splitter behind the usb side of the connection... such a simple solution. Not sure why it took me 2 hours to think of that.
