Hello, I'm CrazyKilla.
I play a lot of games and have a set of buttons on my keyboard which can regulate sound such as increase and decrease volume, pause and play and change songs. These buttons do not work on some games (e.g. Skyrim) and they do on some games (e.g. Counter-Strike GO). I'm fine with all the buttons other than the volume changer as it changes the master volume of everything that comes out of my headphones.
I'd like to know if there is some software, hardware or maybe both that I could get that could give me better control of these things (e.g. a sort of USB or wireless device that can be used to control my music). I use iTunes which isn't very good so I'm fine with changing to a better program. I have also ordered a bluetooth USB so that I can use my phone to control the music but I don't like using my phone as I have to have it with me all the time (which I never do).
Also what is your opinion on sound cards? I've never had one and never needed one. I use my on-board sound hardware and it has done me fine up to the point where I got my msi board and my microphone stopped working with Realtek drivers. Does sound quality increase much with a sound card and is it worth blowing some money on one? What are it's real advantages?
Also can someone recommend me a headphone set that has great audio quality and surround sound?
