Wonder if connecting the headphones directly to the SB-Zx card, without using the ACM, improves audio quality?Nope, always connected to the extension.

I am looking for an upgrade from Steelseries Arctis 7 Wireless
Must be WIRELESS and HAVE A MIC (for dragon dictate) and twitch streaming: and therefore USB too.
THINKING -
SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless
OR
Sennheiser GSP 670
$$ not an issue just want the best for sound
GAMING only - NO music or movies
Anyone with plenty of PC experience? I can get the Schiit HEL to be picked up as both an audio device and microphone/chat device. The Schiit Fulla I can't get to be picked up as a mic device, only as an audio device. Also, when I plug in a mic on the fulla, it mutes general audio. So yeah, not exactly sure what's going on here. Considering I'm not well versed on the microphone chat side of PC audio, I'm not the best at figuring this one out.
Also found that the PS4 Pro doesn't pick up the HEL as an audio device at all, but will pick up the Fulla. Again, it still mutes everything if a mic gets plugged in to the Fulla.
I don't have any experience with any Schiit equipment but I have a few suggestions that maybe you overlooked.
You mention the Fulla works with your PS4, but do you have any other PC or laptop device you can plug the Fulla into? For the sake of verifying duplication of the issue outside of your primary PC.
Beyond that..
Have you tried swapping the usb cable?
Have you tried other USB ports?
Are you running it off a USB hub?
Are you running it off USB power or bypassing it with a direct power source in addition to having it connected USB?
If you are running it off USB power, are you trying to charge a device through the Fulla?
Have you verified you are displaying hidden devices in your windows input devices?
As far as the PS4 issue, I ran into that a while back with the Arctis Pro DAC I believe. I know I resolved it through some obscure setting in the menu. I'll see if I can find what I did and relay it back to you.
Disregard, I'm an idiot. The box clearly says Fulla 2. They sent me the wrong model, which doesn't even have mic input. Lol. Gaaaah. He's aware. Lol.
Have not heard of the HyperX.
Any reason to look at them?
The second issue sounds as if mic and phone jacks were reversed. Try plugging them the other way around.Anyone with plenty of PC experience?

Nah, it was that it was a Fulla 2. Doesn't have a mic jack. Where the mic jack is on the 3, it's an analog in on the 2. So if you put any cable into the analog input, it mutes all other sources.The second issue sounds as if mic and phone jacks were reversed. Try plugging them the other way around.
Did you connect external power to Hel? Unlike Fulla it won't work off of usb data port, it needs to be plugged in to a separate power supply (phone charger will do).
