Try going to the sound preferences and selecting the digital output instead of analog. Unfortunately the virtual 7.1 surround is software based, so you can only get it on windows. With digital output you should at least get good stereo sound though.

First of all, I'm using Kubuntu 13.04, Linux Kernel version is 3.8.0-19, and, for example, I can't hear nothing if volume is less than 24%, if I put it at 20% I won't hear anything, it gets muted. Micprohone is working quite well, but the function "Loudness" isn't working, I typed Alsamixer and I selected the soundcard of the headset, Loudness appears there but it appears desactivated, and I can't enable it :/ My problems seems to be similar to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/961481 Do you know if this will be solved in future versions of the Linux Kernel? maybe with a new PulseAudio version? what about Alsamixer? I'm new in Linux, and this kind of problems are terrible, I know it's not Linux fault, it's GameCom fault, they should make better support for Linux...
