Does my MSI Z97 G45 Motherboard have 7.1 surround sound Inegrated? If yes, do i need any apps or anything to run it? Please tell me how i can turn it on. I ordered a hyperx cloud headset and need to know if i will need to get the razer 7.1 surround sound app or if my motherboard has a 7.1 surround sound. I dont think it would be good to have both of them running.
THanks

Not sure if you already figured it out. On multiple websites is notified the msi z97 g45 has 7.1 audio channels and I read on newegg:
'Sound Blaster Cinema: Realistic Surround Sound Experience' for this board
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130771&cm_re=msi_z97_g45-_-13-130-771-_-Product for example.

I was also checking if my motherboard (msi z97 gaming 5) soundcard was 7.1 surround compatible because I wanted to buy a surround sound headset without integrated soundcard.

I tested the hyperx cloud II from a friend of mine and It automaticly installs the drivers when you plug it in. It works fine but not sure about the first hyperx cloud.
I would not install razer 7.1 app for it. On the official kingston website should be information given about the headset and needed apps/drivers etc.

good luck
