Headset + Soundcard question

[Tealio]

Hey, I just received an Icemat Siberia headset with USB soundcard. I also have an X-Fi XtremeGamer soundcard. My question is would using the Icemat's USB soundcard render the X-Fi soundcard useless? Will the X-fi soundcard and icemat's usb soundcard both be working? And if it is so that only one or the other will work, which one should I use? thx guys

Both soundcards will work, you can select which on in the sound control panel

which one would be better to use? im not sure how good each are

read some reviews, i dont have any personal experiences

question do you have 5.1 speakers or more? or just 2.1? just 1 sound card is enough with 2 speakers.

I can't believe your asking if a USB Sound card is better than a X-fi.....

<In Disbelief.

ok so the x-fi is obviously better but should i just uninstall the usb soundcard and just use the x-fi? will having the usb card in improve my sound?

i have 2.1 speakers but i dont use them. i use my icemat siberia headphones.
