Audio setup advice

[MightyCanary]

Hey,

I'm looking for advice on how best to setup my audio for my pc

I use a modmic 5 paired with philips fidelio X2s aswell as a 4k LG tv and once IKEA is back ill be setting up my Edifier R1280DBs again.

I'm wondering if it's worth purchasing a Schiit fulla 3 to drive my mic and headset through, or if theres a better option for me that would also drive my speakers rather than leaving them plugged into the TV/motherboard(still undecided on which ill plug them into, the tv is connected to my pc over hdmi though)


Thanks for any input

Depends whether you want positional locating effects when playing FPS games. If not, then Schiit Fulla 3 is a good option. If you do, then a Creative SoundblasterX G6 will be a better choice; otherwise, for positional sound placement, you'd have to use additional software with the Fulla 3.

Both Fulla 3 and G6 have line out for connecting stereo speakers.

B grade G6 has just popped up again on Creative's site for £70.

I would prefer positional audio for games that sounds good, what software would I need? I could get that already.

Is there much difference performance wise (sound quality) between the two? A G6 sounds a better option especially if it's cheaper

Thanks
