Hey guys ,
I am very new to this PC thing, just recently switched from ps4 , so pls don't call me stupid (coming from yahoo answers) or anything pointless.

So i bought a new headset (After glow wireless) from EB games for around $250 and i cant seem to make the 5.1 channel work on my PC , all it gives me during the test is the ( left , center , right ).
then i figured my mobo must be the problem.

Can anyone pls confirm that 5.1 headset is supported or not on this mobo ?
i appreciate your effort thanks.
 
Solution
Anything that supports a specific number of channels also supports lower channel configurations. Boards that support 8 channel, support 7.1, 5.1, 2.1, stereo and mono, etc.

but doesint that mean it only supports 7.1 because there is no mention of 5.1 anywhere.
