Are there other 5.1/7.1 surround headsets?

The biggest thing that makes finding a 'compatable' headset to Xbox is the 2.5mm chat port. PC headsets typically have two 3.5mm jacks. One for the Audio and one for the Mic. The 2.5mm jack on the controller allows both headset audio and mic to transfer.
Then on top of that you need another channel for the game audio which is fed from with the Digital Audio port, Dual RCA out, or HDMI. Commonly, designed for Xbox headsets have a cable to connect to the 2.5mm port, while having a seperate connection to connect
to the audio out on the xbox itself. There is a way to use any PC headset however without using something designed for xbox. You can find some sort of cheap adapter on Amazon but will greatly limit what the headset can do. Also, for a direct RCA cable connection,
you will need an amplifier. The best bet is to buy an Astro Mixamp if you wish to use any personal headset other than the already designed for xbox brands. For example, I'd like to use a Sennheiser headset but would need some sort of adapter to use. I've yet
to see any other product offer what this does. Plus, it is also usable on PC and PS3. What it does is connect to the digital audio out from the xbox, this allows the xbox to feed 5.1 surround sound audio and the Mixamp will process that and turn it into a
simulated surround sound through stereo headphones. The magic is that you can tell where people are positionally instead of only left and right. It also contains the 2.5mm cable to connect to the controller. This allows you to also take advantage of the Xbox
chat feature. An included Y cable adapter will allow you to connect any PC headset of your choice (it connects the dual 3.5mm TRS jacks into one 3.5mm TRRS jack, the same type used for cell phones). However, getting the Mixamps plus accessories is really expensive,
plus you need to buy your headset. The other alternative is to what you've posted. Sharkoon has an xbox designed headset. I'm not sure if Razer made any for xbox headsets. Of course Tritton and Turtle Beach are the most popular (currently I have X4s). And
recently Sennheiser made a pair designed for xbox. I'd totally buy the Sennheiser pair right now, but unfortunately it is stereo not simulated surround sound. Basically narrow your choices on these critera: Wireless or Wired (advantages and disadvantages included
mobility, static, battery life), Stereo or Simulated Surround Sound (Tritton are the only true 5.1 headphones) [note: Xbox only outputs up to 5.1 audio for games, same for PS3], and sound quality (if you go the Mixamp and PC headset route, Klipsh and Sennheiser
are the best in the market in my opinion). Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but once you can narrow it down to want you want in a headset, it becomes a lot easier.

Are you referring to Microsoft Mahjong?

If so, then after you open the game, scroll down to Themes (it should be right under "Recently Played"). From there, you can choose between a couple different themes, which change the tiles and symbols.

I use Stardock ModernMix to keep the Windows 8 screens at a manageable size on my 30 inch monitor. When the Mahjong screen was displayed in that reduced manner, the Theme section was off screen to the right. Easy to scroll over
to the right and pick another theme.

People reported this problem to Microsoft Chinese support forum and Microsoft employees replied that the problem is under investigation. We can do nothing but wait for a future fix... Also, according to the posts in this forum, seems that people using languages
other than English and Chinese also have this problem.

Another problem that annoys me is that if the system language is set to Chinese, theme switching no longer works and you can only use garden theme. This problem persists since the very first day and still no fix. It is interesting that Microsoft used modern
theme screenshots in Chinese version marketplace, but user have no access to this theme. I guess the problem is caused by the localization work, since theme change is working in Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Microsoft Mahjong...

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. If you haven't already done so, I recommend checking out our support article Microsoft
Casual Games FAQ which can help direct you to the Microsoft Mahjong Community support page (links are near the bottom of the article). They would more likely be able to give you a more direct answer or provide the steps necessary to resolve your issue.

I hope that this helps out!

Sorry, your link doesn't take me anywhere helpful in terms of my question.
