That's impossible. Either your other sound card had a different connector or you were trying to plug it into the wrong slot.
That is a standard PCI connector designed to fit in to both 5v and 3.3v PCI slots:

Believe us or don't, I don't care anymore.
Amon1995 Wrote:Nah I'm using USB by itself at the moment, there still is sound, but it's not very good, it's just basic stereo sound, might even be mono actually.
Amon1995 Wrote:I already know that optical is better because I tried optical on my PS3 (it has a port at the back), and the headset sounded pretty good.
Strange. The manual for the 720+ shows usb only being used for power: ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/support/tritton...manual.pdf
The only difference between optical and usb on this headset will be whether or not you can use the decoder box to manage the audio (which is mainly just used for virtual surround sound). Both carry LPCM.
Amon1995 Wrote:I bought this headset because of the mic quality, I haven't seen any others which have mic quality as good as this one. This is a good thing because I'm planning on doing recording.
How have you reached the conclusion that this mic is much better than other headsets in this price range? If it's that important why not get a standalone mic which will offer much MUCH better quality than any built in mic ever could?

That's because you're using your motherboards integrated audio chipset which is garbage. That's why I told you to get a sound card.
