Enhanced realism: 96KHz & 192KHz audio improves the frequency bandwidth, resulting in more realistic sound effects and ambiance by keeping audible frequencies which are altered at 44 and 48KHz sample rates

Benefits of surround Sound:
Fortissimo 4 surround performance offers a deep immersion in your games or movies.
