Ok... I been trying to figure it out but I cant. People have told me that surround sound will work on these sound cards, but where?

My headset has 4 plugs, Mic - Rear - Front - Center/Sub

I dont see plug holes for each one of those on these;

and this one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102189

Where would I plug in the 3 sound ones? OR my headset has this plug that looks like ..... the plug of a keyboard, with like little pins. Anyway let me know.

Maybe these sound cards are overkill, but I want a really good one, I think theyre decent. I need surround sound support that I need, and great sound quality, thanks.

you can great sound quality if you have a good set of speakers and an amp. both of your sound cards offers digital outputs which means u can have a digital surround sound-PCM (dd/dts if your amp support those).

In first sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Pro) there is something called "SPDIF Out" both Optical and Coaxial digital out puts (front panel). you can use one of those digital outputs to connect to back of your amp which should have something like optical/coaxial input.

in your second sound card its a similar case. it has a digital optical output.

I still dont get it... my headset, which has the keyboard looking plug, goes into the amp, to which a Red, Green, Blue plugs go from the amp and connect into the computer. My computer, a basic one, has 1 mic, and 1 sound hole. Where would the 3 from my headset go on those sound cards.

dansilva

what is the sound card you have on your computer. you could also use a RCA cabe which has 3.5mm jack at one end and other 2 phono jacks.3.5mmjack will go to green hole in ur computer sound card and phono cables will connect to your amp (cd/aux/etc)

both sounds cards from newegg.com have digital outputs. definately u can use to get digital sound out if u have the right amp.

dansilva

Right now I dont have any sound card. I only have the stock one on this computer.

On my new computer ill be getting one of the sound cards I linked above in forum.

My headset, www.305kicks.com/headset.jpg has a mic, and 3 sound plugs, Center/Sub - Rear - Front.

Where would I plug those in on the new sound card im getting?

Why buy a new soundcard to get surround sound when it can be done with an integrated one? I have converted my Line In and Mic to Line Out and now I have a 5.1 system.

Because I want that sound card... and that response doesnt help me at all. I still need to know where the 3 plugs go.
