Can i use 7.1 with Kingston HyperX Cloud 2 Headset or only 7.1 and stereo?

[Mr. Freaky]

Hey,

I realy dont know if i can use 5.1 with this headset. It has 7.1. And i can turn it on with an extern controll (its also an extern soundcard)- so if i turn off 7.1.... will it use 5.1 automaticly?

Even 2 physical speakers support SURROUND SOUND.
It's called Virtual Surround
7.1 is pointless; both games and apps never support beyond 5.1

headsets general are 2 speaker w/ virtual surround
software takes the game/movie original 5.1 channels and allows that to be pushed to 2-channel

[Mr. Freaky]

So for example a game like Battlefield only support 5.1. And i turn 7.1 at the headset on, will it use 5.1 of the game? So is 7.1 backwards compatible?

The headset you speak of is stereo.

You'll be able to simulate 5.1 or 7.1 surround. This surround simulation can be done with any stereo headset and is not a specific feature.

If you are looking for a true 7.1 or 5.1 surround headset... then you are looking at the wrong headset. You'll need to actually look at the headset specifications for physical speakers.

I know that it only simulate 7.1. I think a real 7.1 headset is expensive as ♥♥♥♥. I dont wanna go over 100 bucks.

If the source audio (BF4) outputs 5.1 and your sound driver is simulating 7.1, then it just won't have the extra left and right audio to fill.

Worse case... if you get any odd audio bugs, you simply switch it to 5.1... or stereo... no biggie.

ok. and btw a little question: will battlefield support an 7.1 simulation or only 5.1?

Your sound card, or rather the software, is doing the simulation. Not the game.

ah ok i thought the game also have to support sorround sound. My soundcard can do 5.1 and 7.1

Stereo can do Surround; and vice-versa
It's done via Software
