Hi All.
This has probably been discussed in length before but i have spent 2 hours reading up and I am still none the wiser.
So I FPS game and want the best bust most simplest position audio I can set-up. I see a lot of people say 5.1 or 7.1 headsets are just a gimmick and good stereo headphones are just fine.. but here is the bit that gets me.. WHAT SETTINGS IN WINDOWS AND GAMES SHOULD I USE??
That’s the bit that baffles me… So I have two set-ups I can use
Seinhesser HD598 + Onboard sound on my z170 board (think it’s a creative chip)
Or
Hyper X II gaming headset (USB and has amp built in)
I really am not a fan of virtual surround so my question would be..
What would be best out of these two setups?
Would a USB DAC improve the 598s anymore? What would you suggest around 100 quid off it would
Second question would be what settings should I use in windows and games if I don’t want virtual surround? Do I set windows to stereo and games to stereo? Would I still get positional audio setting everything to stereo?
On the subject of virtual audio I have heard the dolby atmos for headphones is supposed to be good for stereo headsets but again I find it hard to understand what settings to use in games when using it..
Any help and explanation guys is appreciated.
