[SOLVED] Can I use Audio technica M50x headphone with Realtek 892 codec ?

[Swagata]

I use a MSI b450 Tomahwak max motherboard which has realtek 892 audio. I want to buy the Audio technica ATH-M50x for casual gaming and music. Do I need a soundcard or dac ? or my mobo audio is enough ?

your soundchip can easily drive the M50x. The 38Ohm should not be an issue.
that being said the ACL892 is a rather budget-y chip so don't expect fireworks.
but for gaming sound and having spotify open in the background it should be enough.
afterall getting a decent audio setup later on if you feel you need/desire one is always possible

I hope you have an external mic if you need one for gaming.

I would get the 40x and same some money, the 50x sound not as nice according to quite a few reviewers, not worth the extra cost.
