Does the Asrock H97M Pro4 Mobo support virtual surround?

[Rameth]

Hi Guys,

Looking to buy a budget headset G230 or G430. But my onboard sound uses what asrock says is: 7.1 CH HD Audio with Content Protection (Realtek ALC892 Audio Codec), ELNA Audio Caps.

Does this mean I will have virtual 7.1 surround sound? Or is it necessary to get a sound card?

no, the 7.1 surround sound means this MB can support surround speakers, to activate this you have to insert the specific audio plug into the right jack, it is written on the user's manual
