Fatal1ty USB headset and sound card

kisezr00k · 04-03-2009, 01:00 PM

I have been using a X-FI Fatal1ty sound card, and love it for gaming and music. Really kick-***.

Now, my sister got me a USB Fatal1ty headset.

I am wondering, the USB headset has a mini X-FI sound card built in, but it is not as good as the sound card pluged into the PCI-E slot.

My question is - will the USB X-FI over ride the card in the system - resulting in a little performance and sound quality loss, or will it bypass the headset X-FI and use the better one?

If anyone has any experience, it would help.

It will not use the x-fi in your system, but rather use the in-line sound card it has.
