Setting up my Sound

[AG-51_Glider]

OK so here is what I am trying to do- I am wanting to setup a Dolby 5.1 surround speaker system using the sound card and have my comms strictly through my headset. I am moving my gamer to it's own little room and want to get my sound setup for killer immersion. I have a USB headset and am going to purchase a nice dobly 5.1 speaker system. Is this doable and is it just plug and play or do I need to do some tweeking with the settings?

Set game sound to speakers and TS to headset if you wish it setup like that. Is plug and play. May have to see if sound is channeling to the correct side in game. Test it out and I think there're sound setting for il-2 that reverse right/left if needed.
