Anyway to add HD audio header to front panel?

I purchased a cheap Rosewill case to to house a rig I pieced together for some LAN stuff, but I have a problem. The mobo only supports audio out through a HD header, but the case only came with a standard AC97 audio header to the front panel. From what I've tried/read/understand, they aren't compatible. I hooked the onboard audio header to the one in my Ultra Microfly and it picked right up, but it wouldn't work in this case. A friend of mine has the same front panel audio issue in his Elite 340 uATX case, with same motherboard.

I assume these can be replaced with some hot glue and minimal effort, but I was curious if anyone here has ever tried it and where they acquired the parts.

I'm not a fan of USB headsets. :frown:
 
I have a 3.5" drive bay cover with usb/audio/fan controller already....but it messes with the look of the case. I just want to locate a set of cables that I can swap out....or reterminate the pinouts on the AC97 header.
