Nothing personal FadeMeatEx but... I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to this guy.
If the sounds cards +10dB does give you any trouble for any reason (which it wont) just get a pre-amp for your mic
Though you should probably get one with a pre-amp in a kit... all this stuff is cheap as chips these days.
edit: yah this was a bit harsh.. but nothing personal as I said.
The main thing I disagree with is basically any headset mic being good enough which is so so so far from the case.
128bit is plenty enough, infact you don't even need that much but it'll allow you to play half decent quality music in the background and get the game sound effects at close enough quality.
And it is true not using the amplifier in the card is best, but then you definately need a preamp.
I dont know what virtual audio cables is but unless you're interested in more effects and probably access to the equalizer then virtual audio cables probably isn't necessary but as I did say before, additional software to exploit the ability of your existing soundcard is possible.
Anyway, peace bro, sorry for my sharp reply
