I hope I'm posting in the right section, but if not would the moderators please move this to the appropriate section? I just bought my first pair of surround sound headphones (red colored RUNMUS K2) headphones a week ago & I'm confused as to how they are supposed to work as far as hearing surround sound.
I plugged in the audio and microphone cables to the appropriate inputs on the back of my pc (I have a Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P motherboard - can't recall if it's rev 1.0 or 2.x though). However, when I set them up in Windows 10 in the sound configuration, I'm only offered a choice of Stereo , Quadraphonic, Surround, 2 choices of Surround Sound 5.1 (with spaakers either facing in back of me or on each side) or Surround Sound 7.1. I selected 7.1, since that's what these headphones are, but when I clicked the test button, I heard sound in my headphones, but then I also heard sound in my rear left and right speakers & center speaker. I then tried both types of Surround 5.1, but I still heard sound through the mentioned speakers & not the headset. Shouldn't I be hearing those speakers in my headset, because that's the whole purpose of having surround sound headphones, right? However, the headphones only come with 1 audio connector, 1 microphone connector, and a USB conector to power the lights on the headphones.
Can someone please explain to me how this is supposed to work & how to set it up, because this is the first time I have had surround sound headphones. The microphone works good, BTW.
Thanks for any help you can provide to me.
