why use a usb sound card? just use the 3.5mm jacks with a decent sound card. even a $20-$30 Asus Xonar DG will do enough. It'll provide much better sound than that usb sound card. I have a siberia v2 myself with a xonar dx and it's amazing. had experiences with a few usb headsets before and really wasn't that great.

if you're desperate for the usb card, i'd just go and buy plantronics 777s, as they come with a card similar to the one you're after (there won't eb much difference between the two), but you'd be so much better off buying an actual sound card. as yoshi said, the DG is inexpensive and will give you the 3.5mm jacks that you need.

have a xonar DG - not bad cards, but by no means high end.

they do the job much better than on board, and will provide you with the solution you seek.

You should only be buying a USB sound card if you are playing on a laptop, or for some reason you NEED a USB output.
