Hello guys,

I have an Logitech G51 surround set and a Logitech G35 headset.
I am happy with both, but somehow the sound out of my surround set is a bit weird.

Some friends of mine, when they game with a sound card and an non-usb headset. They hear way and way more then I with my expensive USB headset. ><

So I have been looking for a new sound card, the first thing comes up while reading the forums here and the internet is;

Creative card are almost not supported by Win 7?
Creative cards are not that good ??
And the support of drivers and the support of creative aint good?

So I have been reading the Asus Xonar is a good card.
But also the Auzentech has been givin as a reply on the forums here.

I will use a headset for gaming and for music.
And my surround set I will use for movies and music and some race games.

What sound card might be a good one for me? And yes I want to connect my headset in the front Audio/mic input. So I hope there is a place on the sound card that I can connect it to the front input.
 
I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic and the drivers have been fine on Windows 7, no problems at all. There won't be any front panel connector though unless you get the drive bay thing that you get with X-Fi's. Alternatively I've seen a mod online but that's probably not worth the hassle. To be honest plugging into the back isn't too much trouble because your other 5.1 headset is USB so it would simply be a matter of plugging them in and setting them as the default audio device without having to remove your normal headset.

Also, sorry to hijack the thread but I'm after a new headset as currently I use a pair of headphones and a beat up old desk mic :P Need something relatively cheap, have been looking at the Plantronics GameCom 367 Headset. Are they any good?
