Question about surround sound headset and laptops.

I spoke with a member from the live chat asking if surround sound (eg Logitech G35/ Razer's Tiamet 7.1 etc.) headsets could be used on this configuration:

Chassis Model: Digital Storm x17 Laptop (Model: 9170)
Display: 17.3 Inch (16:9) (Resolution: 1920 x 1080) (Glossy Surface) LED-Backlit Display

Video Card(s): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M 2GB with NVIDIA Optimus Technology
Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition)

I just wanted to verify what he said cause he didn't seem 100%.  He said if it uses a USB to connect it shouldn't matter because that bypasses the sound card.  The logitech site itself says you don't even need one (a sound card) for their G35 headset.  I'm just getting back into computer gaming so I'm pretty out of date with that kind of stuff so if anyone has some helpful info on this that would be greatly appreciated.

Nope, no sound card required, the G35's will work just fine with that setup.
