I'm purchasing the Schiit stack but would also like to use surround virtualization for gaming. I was thinking about purchasing the Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 software suite to accomplish this.
With a sound card, I know this wouldn't work because you essentially bypass the sound card when using USB. You are unable to select two playback devices.
However, with the software suite, it technically isn't tied to a playback device is it? The effects should still be applied via software/cpu. Would it work or would the audio stream still bypass the software and flow directly to the external DAC?
