Please could someone advise how i set these headphones up on my MOBO, it has i have a gigabyte DQ6 board i have the plugs in where i belive they go but the sound just dosnt sound rite.

Also if i tell *** gigabyte software to go for 5.1 it only wants to do it digitaly.

You need to get your soundcard to output 5.1 analogue for these phones. If it can't do that (surely it can) then you're stumped.

You would think so but nope, only 2, 4, 6, or 8 channel.

Ill see if there is a way of forcing it.

Or i buy me a cheap nasty 5.1 sound card.

*slaps himself across the face with a salmon*

Right 6 channel is 5.1 (bloody gigabyte) Also rear speakers arnt rear they are called side.

Well i have it working, it sounds nice, i think a freind has proper 5.1 system in his comp may try and see what it sounds like on his, just to make sure its the same.

I found the sound quality on the Zalmans wasn't really acceptable.

Would you recomend any suround sound headphones?
