Title: 5.1headset
Post by: twistedsymphony on September 30, 2005, 01:13:00 PM
USB based headsets will NOT work unless they have been approved by MS (and I don't think any have or are in plans to be at this time)
Your only option would be to get a receiver that accepts Digital Optical and translates it into the necessary 5.1 headphone signal...
I've not looked into too much of the 5.1 headphone standards so I can't be of much help past that.

ummmmm, yeah. I'm a little confused how you get 5.1 surround sound from headphones. I thought the 5.1 stood for 5 speakers, and 1 sub. Wouldn't the most you could get from headphones be stereo sound?
