Audio Codec ALC662, 5.1 Channels, High Definition Audio THis seems to be my audio codec on my motherboard. I don't think its any decent. The only way to get surround sound is using razer surround i guess?

Hello everyone Today i got a new pair of headphones ( fidelio x2hr). The sound is great but I can't tell if something explodes nearby or further away. When you are wearing the fidelio x2hr you are supposed to get sounds around you, that is not what I get. The sound is more in my head like a...
