    Hello - Have anyone tried this out ?

    When I use MS standard it says that I have headset input and then I think it will let the games handle it if the games have 5.1 option but im not sure here.

    In realteck software howevher you can set it to 5.1 but it seems to not understand that I have to cable in my m14x and I only getting 2.1 and in the sound option it does not says : headset input like when it does with microsoft standard driver.

    So .. anyone tested something more about this ? :)

    Edit : NVM I fix. :D Seems I have to sacrifise my mic to make it work, testing more now.
