I have an Astro A40 headset and it can use 7.1 Surround Sound, and I can't find a sound card with that. They're all like 5.1 Surround Sound.

ASUS Xonar DX is 7.1

Your headset only does virtual 7.1 though, its not a true surround its just 2.1 stereo...

Astro A40's are 2.1 because headset. You don't need to pay for a 7.1, just get a 5.1 and save your money

There are headphones/headsets with that "feature" but I'm pretty sure these two aren't in that category.

I thought Soundcards are special ;)
