I have a Logitech G533 Wireless Gaming Headset. Now that I have

mic, how do I configure pulseaudio to provide the 7.1 surround sound
that the headset actually supplies?
You could try running alsamixer in a terminal and select the actual
device instead of the pulseaudio output. See what options it has
there. I'm curious how a device with only two speakers can provide
7.1 surround sound. Maybe that's just a feature of the windows driver.
I've tried alsamixer and selected the headset from the device list when
using the 'Select Sound Card' option and it only shows a single pcm
slider for playback and a single slider for the mic. I'm not entirely
sure how the headset provides surround sound either but I don't think it
is a function of the Windows driver as the driver used is whatever is
supplied with windows when the usb transmitter is plugged in. Just
plugging the transmitter in is enough for windows to determine that
headphones are connected irrespective of whether or not the headphones
are actually switched on. When I change the sound volume on the headset
I get a volume bar displayed on the screen indicating the volume I'm
setting. When I do the same thing under Fedora I get a similar display
on the screen to show the volume change for Lineout, and I get the same
audio feedback in the headset that I get under windows. What I haven't
done is checked how windows is handling the device and whether it is
providing surround sound options.
