Q:  I was wandering if you can hook the AK-R8 or the HPA2 headphones into your
    controller headset or your tv. Could you hook the headphones up to ur xbox
    to play Call of Duty 4 on xbox live?

A:  The AK-R8 and HPA2 are designed for use with PC soundcards w/ surround 
    sound analog outputs and standard analog mic input. They are not
    compatible with Microsoft's proprietary Xbox Live Chat mic hookup. 
 
    You can always listen to the output of your Xbox (game sound) through the
    HPA2 headset. 

    The AK-R8 includes the Audio Advantage SRM USB soundcard, which is not at
    all compatible with Xbox 360.

Q:  I have bought a Turtle Beach ear force HPA2 a few months ago when I was in
    the USA and I am very pleased with it. I have a Intel motherboard that 
    supports 5.1 but now I would like to buy a sound card. Could you advise 
    me which one I should buy? I use the headset for gaming only. Because I am
    a Belgian I can't really buy a Turtle Beach soundcard anymore because the
    shipping and the customs add too much money to the price.

A:  You should be able to use the HPA2 headphones with any high-quality
    soundcard that offers 3.5mm mini-phone jack outputs for FRONT, SURROUND,
    CENTER and SUBWOOFER (LFE). Of course, the headphones will work best with
    our Turtle Beach Montego DDL!
