I just got into the cubase program that came with my spider v 240hc, it works great and I have the drivers set up and installed correctly so I can record and playback with no issues. I am curious if there is a way to set up output to another device though https://mobdro.bio/ https://kodi.bio/ because I dont like having to plug my mic into the phones jack on the amp, like I shuold be able to monitor form my mic out, or from my pc headphone jack. Is there a way to configure the spider v driver in cubase as input only, with another device (yeti mic) set for the output? Also can you configure multiple devices for input so I can have my mic and amp inputting adio simultanously? This might be a question for steinberg cubase forums but sine the programs is included with the amps I thought maybe someone here might have some info.

Currently I have crappy $15 labtech speakers, and I want to upgrade. I listen to a lot of music and I occasionally do some guitar/vocal recording/editing. My budget is ~$150 https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ . I was looking at AV40s or promedia speakers. Also, if I'm just using my integrated soundcard (Realtek HD Audio I think) with the single speaker output, is the quality difference really going to be that great with new speakers?

So looking to upgrade the audio setup I have for my gaming PC. My priority is an immersive home theater like experience, over Hi-Fi listening. If a setup could do both that would be nice. Audio peripherals that I do own: Corsair st100 headset stand(works as headphone dac for me) AD-900x Paramax p510 5.1 system-https://100001.onl/ https://1921681254.mx/ This is sold via white van scams outside of best buys commonly. A relative gave it to me as a gift. I currently have it in 2.1. As expected it sounds awful, and I am looking to upgrade this. So I will add I am a sucker for RGB, and have a very RGBcentric set up already. That being said the Logitech g560 speakers, and sound blaster katana/kratos have caught my eye. Was ready to buy the g560, but read awful reviews on volume control issues. So I have also looked at powered bookshelf speakers in the $100-150 range. I assume I will need a sub to get the full immersive set up I was hoping for. Lastly I have been very interested in the sennheiser gsx1000, but it just seems like paying $150+ for the 7.1 effects, as this device would do me no good otherwise, and paying that much for improved 7.1 in games is hard to do. So my budget is roughly $200, and I am willing to push that to $300 if it's a noticeable improvement. After weeks of audio research I am a little overwhelmed and would like some advice before I spend too much money and end up with something I'm not happy with. Let's say I go with some powered bookshelf + dac + sub for roughly$300. How does that compare for immersion, to the soundblasterx katana for $250?
