Hi All,
I have a pair of Sennheiser games ones plugged directly into my Sound BlasterX AE-5 sound card via 2x3.5mm jacks(mic and phones). My game ones are getting old and I want to replace them. I have been looking at the Astro A50`s, however I have noticed that the base station plugs into the PC via a USB Port. As it uses the USB port, does it still use the Sound card to drive the sound? Does the USB sound, sound as good as if it were plugged directly into the sound card the old fashion way or would they make my sound card redundant? I`m not familiar with how it would work.
Thanks in advance, Lee
