No breakout box or drive bay though. **Q: Does the optical out support 7.1 or do you have to use individual wires for each set of speakers?** A: I am currently using this sound card to drive a 7.1 Gaming Headset with SPDIF connection. Windows doesn't let me "test" it in sound control panel, and it doesn't appear to recongize the SPDIF unless I go into properties and specifically test Dolby Digital output under the SPDIF out from this sound card. Playing a game like Skyrim or Battlefield 4 and ensuring the proper sound device and sound output options, I can hear things happening behind me, like a tank driving up or someone trying to stab me in the back, and it actually sounds like it's coming from behind me, so I can associate the sound with a position in the game. However, this could be an illusion and maybe it only supports 5.1 or simulated surround sound through the SPDIF. Assuming you're going to route the sound card to an A/V receiver to then route it to the speakers, it may work but YMMV. Good luck! **Q: Does is support "what-you-hear"?** A: I have the Sound Blaster Audigy Fx SB1570 and the same question. When I saw the response about "What-U-hear" technology I had enough info to learn more from Creative support. The online info was that versions 4 and 5 of the Audigy FX will support that technology. I have no idea which "version" I have and the info I haven't confirmed what card I'd need to buy. If I get lucky(?) I'll share the info here. **Q: IS this card compatible with windows 10** A: Working fine for me, Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Last update 3/16/23. Used the proper Windows 10 32bit/64bit drivers from creative, no issues. All settings and control panel work as of 3/20/23. Been using the card for two days straight stress testing, 24/7 runtime. All good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, Dual 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851,PC Cooler - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
