    With BF3 around the corner i'm looking into a new surround sound headset. My only complaint with the Asus g74 is it only has 2 plugs for sound, one of which gets used up for chat.

    Is there another way I'm not thinking of to get analog surround sound out of this laptop? Or do I need to get a USB surround sound headset.

    Also looking for suggestions on new headsets if I need to go USB.

    Thanks in advance, I'm a noob :p

    A USB headphone set will give you the surround experience, since it can send more than 2 channels to the headphone's processor. Personally, I prefer to use good studio headphones, but that is me. :)
