I'm trying to connect my Tritton 720+ headset to my pc so i wouldn't have to buy another headset when gaming away from the ps4, but i want to retain the virtual 7.1 surround sound. I know I can just use the usb to power the headset and get stereo sound, but I think i found a way to get the 7.1 to work and I want opinions before I try this out.
My Gigabyte ga-z97-HD3(rev 2.0) motherboard has a sppdif_0 header with only 2 pins. the manual says pin 1 is for the signal, and pin 2 is a ground.
If I buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035J9Z7W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A2RTF5UMJCQ40R and connect it without the 5v pin, will the tritton receiver box recieve the optical signal from the mobo? The receiver box is powered via usb, and transcodes the signal into 7.1 to the headset and the microphone works through usb.
Would I still recieve sound and be able to chat through the microphone with this set up? Or am I better off buying a sound card to make the 720 compatible with my mobo? Thanks for any help and opinions you guys give me!
