Hello people.
I am thinking of buying HYPERX CLOUD CORE.
My motherboard is FOXCONN G41-MD(LGA 775)
Through some source i came to know that my MOBO PROVIDES IMPEDENCE OF ONLY 20 OHMS.And cloud core REQUIRES IMPEDENCE OF 60 OHMS.
So my question is will the headset work fine or is it compulsory to buy a sound card.
P.S. : it is mentioned on kingston site that cloud core works easily on mobile devices too!!(i guess mobiles have lesser impedence !!)
If it is really necessary to buy a sound card..will following cards do the job?..i.e. only to provide 60 impedence....

Guys the only reason why I will be buying a sound card is to provide 60 ohm impedence and nothing else.
I am not into 5.1 or 7.1 sound...I ONLY WANT POSITIONAL AUDIO FOR MP GAMING.
I live in india..I dont want to buy some expensive SC.
Thankyou in advance guys for your valuable feedback.

Hello everyone...I finally bought hyperx cloud core..nd I just want to confirm they work really well with my crappy mobo.
So guys if any1 wondering abt an external SC.......there is no need.
I am hardly using 30 % audio volume...nd it feels so nice <3
It'll work, try it first before buying a sound card. Although technically impedance mismatches can effect performance and frequency response, in practice it's rarely noticable with headphones.

When people first started plugging headphones into sound cards they were generally only meant as a line out to feed into an amplifier but it still worked - although not that well to be honest. These days it's pretty much expected that you can plug them in directly.

Personally though I find most sound card outputs a little quiet when driving headphones so I've either used some sort of amplifier with a headphone output or USB headphones.
