Well, this will be an interesting conversation I bet..

I have been using this old school of a gem for years now for all my PC audio with a BD DT770 Pro Studio headset.
My setup is in process of being refined, some of the gaming will now be done on a 4k big screen, which as a 930D sound bar hooked up to it so all the processing I would imagine will be done without the need for the card.

I do want to keep 3 options alive:
- audio via PC only when not running on big screen/sound bar combo
- big screen setup with sound bar
- big screen setup with headphones (consider this as part of the question - new headset is potentially needed)

I do care about audio quality but given how surround technologies had moved on I am not up to speed enough to know if I need to look for alternative card, do something else, or rely on the in built audio card form the mobo with Realtek S1220A.
Mic for me is not a must, nor is wireless a lot when it comes to headset.

Please help :D:confused::D
