Does my Home Theater System has to e connected, or will it always say all those options? cuz I only have Stereo as an option.

[AverageBruce]

The thing is, in my Speaker Setup menu the only option available is Stereo. Any ideas? Ive got the 7H Heaset from steeseries. Help would be much appreciated.

@AverageBruce Did you ever figure out why your setup menu only had stereo available? I have the same problem.

[AverageBruce]

@10Dice01 No thats the problem... i have no idea. Im only guessing that my pc doesnt support anything better.

@AverageBruce Did you solve your problem? If so, please help me, I have the same one. And excuse for my bad English. :)

[AverageBruce]

@hetfieldavid Your english is fine :)

No, im sorry, i havent solved it yet, as i didnt have much time to do further research.

[SuperDAnanas]

@AverageBruce its becouse its for speakers and headsets only have two speakers but uses virtuall surround TEHEEE :D :D

[AverageBruce]

@SuperDAnanas

You are most likely right,

so how do you enable the virtual surround?

[SuperDAnanas]

@AverageBruce there are only 2 speakers in surround headphones. the surround is just software and 5.1 is for 5.1 speakers and 5.1/7.1 headphones only use a software to create viritual surround that probobly used a usb that followed the headphones or you need to buy a sound card that have stereo surround eneabled butt almost every computer that is not from 1634 have stereo surround .

[RARUIU]

Useless and stupid!!!!!!!!!

[ButcherStrike]

WTF, when i open the sound it shows i have two sound cards, i buyed my computer from someone who liked to put excessive hardware in his computer or what, damn i even have two network adapters from Realtek showing in Device Manager, this is strange LOL.
