Recommendations on Sound Card.

[PandaBOT-]

I have a laptop with a Dolby home theater. Im getting a Astro A50 headset so i can use it on my xbox one and my laptop. I have been wondering what must i get to get 7.1 surround sound on my laptop? do i even need a sound card to get 7.1 on it?

No, if you have a decent Motherboard with a decent onboard sound card.

Those headphones seem to be stereo and use Dolby Prologic IIx and Dolby headphone to create surround sound. The Mixamp should be all you need.
