I want to buy Razer kraken chroma 7.1 gaming headset.
Question is,do i need a sound card for that 7.1,or my motherboard will do fine? its Asus z97-a.

That is actually a very specific question with a straight forward answer...

Onboard sound of the Z97-A is an 8-channel 24-bit 192Khz setup Realtek® ALC892. "The ALC892 provides ten DAC channels that simultaneously support 7.1 channel sound playback"
