Audio is a part of the computing experience that is very often overlooked when people are building their system. We see this every day when someone is talking about putting together an HTPC (Home Theater PC), a gaming system or even a general usage system. They stick with the audio on the motherboard and call it good enough. Even when someone takes the time to pick out a good sound card, they often buy $20 speakers to play this sound through. Today we are going to take a look at a combination audio card and headset from Rosewill this is the RHM-6308. The RHM-6308 is listed as a Circumaural Gaming Headset; we are going to see if this $30 headset can live up to its name.Page 4 of 6
The Setup -
Unlike a few of the other USB audio devices we have tinkered with you do have to install a driver and utility to get the full benefit from the Rosewill RHM-6308. The installer is on the mini-CD that comes inside the box and while it does require a reboot it is a pretty solid little piece of software.

As you can see you have a few options for using the RHM-6308. You can opt for normal stereo or you can turn on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and run the system in 7.1 virtual surround. The other options include a small mixer, an effects page, a harmonizer (they call it magic voice), and more. Many of these options you would expect to find on more expensive audio products so we are pretty impressed to see them here.
