Sound Card for Wireless headsets?

[NXK]

Maybe this is crazy but, I have Artics 7 headsets with USB dongle (wireless) and so i was wondering, if can i get better audio with just adding a sound card. 

Like even if i use USB, USB itself must be connected through CPU and CPU to onboard Audio, right?  (dont mean usb physically being connected to CPU or anything like that, lul) 

 

stupid question, but was just wondering if then USB dongle would communicate with sound card directly 

USB_dongle - CPU - onboard_audio

USB_dongle - Sound_card~~

 

in anycase i want to get the most of my headsets in any way possible so besides that, any advice is welcomed

Hmm, as far as I know a sound card is basically a DAC/Amp with some software features that add effects to the sounds like virtual surround, bass boost, equalizer, etc. A sound card usually only have analog outputs (3.5mm, RCA, Components) and digital input (USB, Optical, Coax, PCIe), but some sound cards do have optical output (not sure about USB output). What these sound cards with digital output do are basically just add effects to the sounds digitally without converting them to analog signal to be played by your headphones.

 

I'm not knowledgeable about Arctis 7, but does it have analog input like RCA or 3.5mm? or is it only digital wireless input through USB dongle? If it only have digital input then you may be interested in some software solution instead of sound card. Try RealTek HD audio Manager.

Ok hold up.... Your wireless headsets will be USB no need for external audio connection.  Unless I am asleep and they sell DAC with usb connection lol.  So in short you do have a nice onboard audio but it is useless because the unit is USB.  If you connect with 3.5mm so its not wirelss it is still going to sound the same.  As if you expect a higher volume the drivers will blow up.  Also I am assuming the wirelss HP's you want are 7.1 virtual surround sound.  A DAC is for HP's not USB gaming headsets.
