  Reading the manual is the last resort.

Aye. With theX7, it was my first resort though

Listen to this on headphones:

  Listen to this on headphones:

 
This doesn't prove anything, the surround still work even if you don't have any surround sound on your system, meaning you just wear a headphone and that's it.
This is different than gaming.

Not what I was going for. Most people who come here do not believe it is actually possible to create realistic positional audio using simple stereo headphones (instead of multi-driver headphones or surround speakers) So the video serves as a proof that it is in fact possible. Gaming examples will come later.

Could one run dolby surround to this via optical in from my DX card, or does the creative do a good enough job?

It's a bit different. Both are equally good, trading some punches. DH is a bit more immersive, SBX is clearer and more accurate. Up to you. I switch to SBX because there are no devices like the X7. If there's a DH device that can do that, I'll try it again :}
You can always try both!

If You're going for the X7 buy some better headphones to accompany them instead of a gaming headset.

FYI about drivers for Windows 10, Auto install installed the Microsoft version on mine but the Creative Labs should be out next week.

I play a lot of Battlefield 4 and thus wanted to get something that give accurate directional sound.
 
Thought Creative H7 7.1 may be good, but i think H7 is a Virtual Surround instead of True 7.1
 
I am already using DT880 600ohm and DT770 80ohm on X7.
Its good but i am looking for something even better.
 
I just downloaded Razer Surround Software and its seems to just work a bit well via PC Optical Out to X7 to DT880.
 
thus was wondering how well H7 can work well with X7...

>Razer Surround
Virtual Surround>True Surround
If You're looking for something better than the X7 try Smyth Realizer

Does anyone have the same problem as me by having the DirectMode Setting (headphones) not always work and often require a reboot to make it function again? That's really annoying.
