help regarding gaming headsets and motherboards/PC

[Ali254]

So basically I have the Asus Rog Maximus VIII motherboard which has an inbuilt sound card that is supposedly really good. So i bought these Hyper x Cloud 2 to test the audio quality but turns out these headphones have one 3.5mm jack (the same thing that is in iphone earphones or any other earphones for that matter) and I dont know where i can connect the 3.5 mm jack on my pc.
that 3.5mm connects into a little soundcard box that has a usb that connects to my pc. I know how to use it with USB soundcard but i wanna use these headphones in my own soundcard but I have no idea how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

if you use the provided usb soundcard for the hxc2, you would bypass your onboard audio on the motherboard.

if you want to use a single combined mic+headphone 3.5mm plug with your pc you need an adapter. they are called phone to pc headset adapters generally and look like..
