Can I connect Heaphones/Headsets with 7.1 capabilities to Motherboard Integrated sound? If it won't work what kind of sound would it give me? (like 2.0)
 
Solution
Depends on your motherboard's audio channel capability. Most have 5.1 audio, but many have 7.1 and some have 8 channel(I think?).

I think you'd have to connect your headphones to the rear I/O though to achieve the higher channel audio. Not front I/O - you'd probably only get 2 channels through the front.
