Does the downmix with information from all channels look cleaner or more detailed to you? No, it doesn't! Good games are able to mix all the information into a high quality stereo signal. Many people pretend to care much about clean audio.
#BEST USB SOUND CARD 7.1 UNDER 50 MOVIE#
If you need a visual example, download Audacity or any other audio editor, load a multitrack audio track from a movie or audio recording and mix it down to stereo. Stereo (1), generated Downmix (2) and 5.1 Mix (3-8) of Paschendale from Iron Maiden (Sources: 24-Bit FLAC, DVD-A) A multichannel downmix by an unknown element in the chain doesn't improve the result it's just a dishonest, technophobe marketing myth and number game that is still around. This is particularly true for games where the soundscape is rendered by the game engine and it doesn't get more accurate with 2 speakers or headphones than the game engine knowing that it should render a stereo signal. Operating systems and applications like games or media players are responsible for handling sound: selecting the appropriate output path and channel profiles, applying dynamic range compression where necessary and so forth. Just use it in stereo mode if you have no 7.1 source. I'd say it's not worth spending more money to get more performance out of this or any other 7.1 headset.
