This headset works perfectly with my PS4 but on my PC, and I do use a splitter, I'm not sure if it working properly. While I can hear sound from both sides, it only works in stereo even though it is a 5.1 surroud sound headset. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance :)

I had the same problem back in the day when I tried to hook up my turtle beach x42's to my pc, stereo worked simulated surround did not. The issue was that my computer did not have Dolby digital live (no modern pc does from my understanding, old software) which is the software at least my x42s used for simulated surround, I would assume PX24s use this software as well. I did get it to work but it involved a modded audio driver that I had to sign myself and could only use in windows test mode so I always had that watermark in the corner of my screen when at the desktop.

So to some it up if you want surround to work on the pc you will somehow need to get dolbly digital live support on your pc. This is the video I used to do it below. You...

Yeah you might want to try something simpler like that first before you go installing modded drivers, may have jumped the gun there. This solution did work for me, but as trutle beach does not seem to feel the need to have proper spec sheets I cant even be sure if your headset uses dolby digtal live as mine did.
