In fact a friend of mine had shown me his surround sound system like 10
years ago. I was doubtful but after hearing it, it really made a difference.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to give it another try. As I don't want to bother
neighbors and prefer headsets anyway, I opted for one that supports virtual
surround. I hope the result will be worth it, but I couldn't manage to listen
to a file with surround sound so far so I can't tell (yet?). As for the extra
hoops, I can only say I find it interesting and funny to try and make stuff
work. So far, no success though.
