    Just got the Astro A40's and the mixamp, and im wondering how to get 5.1 surround. Do I need to buy a new cable or something, I'm not that great with this stuff. I have the mixamp plugged in through usb to my M15x, and the headset is plugged into the mixamp. Please help!

    I once had the same question, and even though your computer does not say this, I believe that plugging the mixamp through usb is sufficient enough for the amp to emulate the 5.1 surround sound.
