The ASUS Maximus VIII impact already has a decent sound card and software to create virtual 7.1 surround or normal surround also. Depending on what you plug in you will make use of either one or the other. One warning though, the wireless headsets need to be very good quality otherwise sound degradation will occur. Also, battery charging and heavy weight could be something against quality wireless headsets.

Just something to watch out for. ASUS says about the previous board VII: 'Sonic Studio is a brand-new audio-tuning suite that provides an aural treat. Use the one-click Virtual Surround function to 7.1 channels, even through a stereo (2.0-channel) headset. It offers five more superb audio controls, including Reverb, Bass Boost, Equalizer, Voice Clarity and Smart EQ — ensuring that everything you hear sounds just amazing!' Asus says this about the new VIII board: 'Maximus VIII Impact's onboard audio isn't just good — it's as good as you can get in mini-ITX! You benefit from the best gaming-audio inputs and outputs, with color-coded LEDs to guide to the right audio jacks and a collection of carefully-selected professional-grade audio components, including an ESS® ES9023P digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with Hyperstream™ technology, ultra-low-jitter clock, Nichicon capacitors, 2VRMS headphone amp, and Sonic SenseAmp that automatically detects and optimizes any headset (32-600ohms) for purest sound quality.

SupremeFX Impact III also features intuitive Sonic Studio II, so you'll apply and enjoy different audio effects for perfect entertainment — plus Perfect Voice noise-cancellation technology for team conversations with total clarity!' So I conclude that it will work quite well, but if it does not, you can always get a ASUS U7 USB sound card (which I have) and that has 2 different 7.1 visualizations the Dolby® Home Theater v4 version of which is quite amazing.

I have been looking into getting a budget 7.1 surround sound headset - something like the Logitech G430 (tested one at Best Buy). I have since read that you can turn any pair of stereo headphones in the same/very similar thing using software. I did a search and found that Razer (Razer Surround) has some free software or a Pro version for $20 that give a few features that I mostly don't care about - I won't set unique profiles for each game or anything like that. With a 1 year old, I have limited time to play games (and money to spend). If there really is a huge improvement spending the $20 for the Pro version, fine. Is Razer Surround (free and pro) essentially the best software available?

I actually have a pair of headphones I really like and plug in from time to time when my wife is home and the baby asleep (usually my wife, too). For what it's worth, I primarily play games where 7.1 faux surround might not really even do much - Lego games, Rift, Orcs Must Die, and a few Sid Meier/Civilization games. If that's the case, I'm perfectly fine with that as an answer, too. I very rarely play any sort of FPS and certainly not multiplayer. First: most 'surround sound' headsets are actually only 2.0 stereo but use virtual surround software to fake surround sound. Very few are actually multi-driver true surround and even those sound very odd due to how sound triggers. Second: razer virtual surround is free however out of all the virtual surround options its often rated as the worst.
