So i recently acquired a set of turtle beach xp400s and i wanted to use them on my pc, turns out you can't use the built in optical out that my mobo has for these headphones and you need something called dolby digital live which you can only get on a standalone sound card. Does this all sound right to you? Am I overlooking something or do I have to buy a new sound-card? If so, what would be your guy's recommendation for a cheap card that would let me use these headphones?
