Can you use the USB connection to get 7.1 surround sound from a PS4? Answer: Hi Ryan, Let me clear this up for you. The virtual 7.1 surround sound is supported through the USB sound card only when used on a computer. The Cloud II is officially supported with the PS4 using the 3.5mm audio jack plugged into the controller. It can be used with the USB sound card but as the PS4 does not have the drivers to run the sound card it will only support pass through sound. When used that way the 7.1, volume and mic control buttons are disabled; only the mic mute switch on the side will work. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us directly at 800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and an available technician will be ready to help you. Thank you for your interest in the Cloud II! - Jewel @ HyperX Technical Support

You won't get 7.1 surround sound on PS4 with HyperX and you have to plug it in controller for mic to work.Wireless Gold 7.1 is a better option IMO where both 2.0 and 7.1 will work.
