I AM using Win7 Ultimate and a Creative SB Z, and was wondering if I could use surround sound headphones through optical or whatever and a seperate mic to talk the 3.5mm jack at the same time?
 
Solution
the only surround sound headsets available are the gaming ones. generally they come in two flavors: 3.5mm analog with multiple jacks or usb. not sure if any are optical or not.

for analog ones, yes just dont plug in the mic for the headset and you can use your own mic. for usb or optical if they exist just change your default recording device to the 3.5mm mic you have connected.
