Hi! I want to buy a set of decent headphones. I'm looking at a Roccat Kave, which supports real 5.1 surround sound.
Now, my pc has an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX installed. However, it doesn't support the 3 analog plugs I need (all 3.5 jacks).
The External box has the following connectors:
SB1394
Optical In
Optical Out
Line In 2 (6.2 jack)
Line In 1 / Mic In (6.2 jack)
Headphones (6.2 jack)
What should I do? I also have a Sound Blaster X-Fi which I don't use. Should I install that for the sake of real 5.1 surround sound? Or is there a way to do so with the Platinum eX? Or should I just settle for a Razer Electra without changing sound card?
Even better, should I just forget about a sound card and use the motherboard one? I have an MSI PN7 SLi with a Realtek ALC888 chip (7.1 surround sound) with all the needed connectors.
I'm not really willing to buy a new sound card. What should I do then? Thanks in advance!
