I've been trying to find the answer for a while but i can't find an answer, if it doesn't is there a sound card that is the exact same as the on board audio but with support for Dolby digital live? the reason i want to know is because i plan on getting the elite 800 headset made by turtle beach and they support Dolby digital live and i want to get the most out of my headset.

I actually only now realised that the sound card that you suggested only supports 5.1 when the elite 800 supports up to 7.1 virtual surround sound. so is there another card like the one you suggested that supports 7.1? here is a link to the headphones
that i plan on using. (ps it looks like it only supports ps3,ps4 and mobile but i've read on lots of review,forums etc that they also fully support pc)

They are the most expensive headphones i have ever had! (the most expensive headphones that i ever had before these ones were about $150 so these are more then twice that) i don't want to spend so much on headphones and not get all i can out of them and I've heard that if you don't have a good sound card for high quality headphones that you can hear the difference a lot more then if you had lower quality ones. also i don't really need an audio control module because i can control the volume just fine from the headset and the extra performance i get from the CPU because it doesn't need to interpret sound is negligible so to make it cheaper i would probably prefer a sound card that doesn't come with an audio control module.

I didn't know Dolby digital live only supported up to 5.1. i guess that it makes sense to include that in the headset since the headset was made mostly for use on a ps3/ps4 which i'm pretty sure only support up to 5.1 anyway. i assumed that it also supported 7.1 but since i would then have to choose between 7.1 and Dolby digital live i would prefer 7.1 so i guess i'll just use the on board audio. thanks for your help though :)
