RE: 7.1 Sound card

OK. I guess that's what happens with my current Logitech G930. This was my first gaming headset and after I got to understand how it works I've been loving it.

Since it's virtual 7.1, most of the games seem to work in 'surround' even though the settings in the menu says stereo. Music also sounds better with the virtual surround than regular stereo. Don't know why, but for me it works so much better.

Currently I'm just thinking of upgrading to 'true' surround headset since some games don't really work well with the virtual and setting the in-game to true 5.1 / 7.1 won't work either since some channels just don't exist within this headset. I remember when I bought this and thought that it was really a surround sound but didn't know that it's just emulated from stereo, I changed some games, like Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Dead Space 2 to surround settings and was wondering why I didn't hear all of the sounds. After I changed them back to stereo it started to sound like surround and all the audio was back.

Also, sometimes I hear something is somewhere around me but when I turn around to look, there's nothing. One example would be Battlefield 3 where I can hear enemy helicopter coming from behind but after I turn, there's nothing... In fact it was above me the whole time.

Small complaints, I know. But being my first gaming headset, I must say that haven't regret the purchase. But it is time for me to reach out from virtual to true.
