NO. Software solutions fucking blow.

The only headphone surround options you should use are the ones included as part of a game.

See Overwatch's Dolby option and OpenAL's HRTF options.

Nigga look up what HRTF stands for, that shit only works when its got access to positional data from the games themselves.

Do what /g/ has been telling people for years, buy a good pair of cheap "audiophile" headphones and a good desktop mic and GTFO

Cont. By software solutions I mean those included with Razer/ creative/ realtek software horseshit.

If EAX/OpenAL/whatever are integrated into the game, you're good.

you will never, EVER achieve true sound positioning with headphones. headphones are for 2 channels, actual speakers are for surround

Cool thanks for the advice

You have only two ears bucko. No matter how many speakers you use, eventually it is possible for software to emulate how those sounds coalesce into your ear holes.

No. No amount of software is going to emulate having speakers properly placed in front and behind you, especially when you wear headphones and have speakers 1 inch from your ear.

The 'you have 2 ears' response is not an argument.
