Surround sound for games?

[Coxy_UK]

Hi bit of a noob here sorry, please bear with me.

I have the Gigabyte mobo Z77X-D3H with the Via VT2021 chip which supposedly can do DTS Connect and what have you, but there simply are no options for it, perhaps down to Gigabyte.

So to play games in 7.1 I assume I need a sound card. Can anyone please tell my which ones offer this ability oir what exactly I need to look for?

Many thanks.

Budget ?

Sorry to clarify I want to use my XP500 7.1 headset which is apparently Dolby Digital only not DTS. I've seen some articles about Dolby Digital Live but I haven't managed to solve my issue, I really don't know enough about it.

Budget... well whatever it takes really lol.

Aha! It appears the Turtle Beach Micro 2 USB will do the trick!!
