surround headset on mobo

[ionic stirrup]

The motherboards surround sound support is via 4 separate 3.5mm audio jacks

[river perch]

this is all i have

[ionic stirrup]

Really?

[river perch]

yep#

[ionic stirrup]

How is that 7.1 surround

[river perch]

depends is surround the same as 7.1

from the msi website

[ionic stirrup]

I see stereo (also called line put, the green one) , microphone in, and line in (which does either rear speakers or a sub from what I can see)

Anyway, you can’t just plug a usb dongle into those. The signal is completely different

[river perch]

no the headset has a 3.5mm jack that plugs into the dongle

[ionic stirrup]

Oh

Can you take a picture

You probably won’t get surround sound (unless there’s a “windows sonic for headphones” option in sound settings, then maybe)

[ionic stirrup]

To get the microphone capability of that headset through the rear io, you’ll need a dual 3 pole to 4 pole adapter

[river perch]

i only need the surround i use an external mic

[ionic stirrup]

Oh ok

Then you can just plug it into the geeen plug and you should be good

[river perch]

but that is helpful tho

it comes up as 7.1 but only the stereo chanels play anything

[ionic stirrup]

It comes up as 7.1 where

[ionic stirrup]

Probably because it’s not using the dongle

And I don’t think there’s anything you can do about it

[river perch]

do you know weather i could use just a regular DAC instead of the logitech one which will cost me like $30

[ionic stirrup]

i do not, sorry

[river perch]

ok well thank you very mutch for your time
