Hi,

I've got the Astro A40 TR + Mixamp pro (2016) and creative sound blaster Z.

I want to know whats the best connection as is it the same for everything?

For example I've heard that stereo sound is a must for CS:GO but is that the case for other games to? Is stereo sound much better than surround sound in general?

What about music, youtube videos, movies. Whats better?

If its the Astro A40's and sound blaster z then how can I make it so that If I connect my headphones to the front headphones port and then force it to use my sound card and not the in-built audio?

If I can't do that or its very complicated what do you suggest?
