DFI FrontX - any way to connect audio jacks to Audigy2?

[sykopath79]

I have DFI's FrontX drive bay I/O box that DFI includes with their LanParty motherboards, and seeing as I will actually be attending a LAN party this weekend and will need easy access to a headphone jack, I have the following question:

The audio jacks for the FrontX box look designed to work in tandem with the onboard audio of the motherboard. All well and good, since nForce2 audio is excellent, but I have an Audigy2 card in there and that's what I use for sound. Is there any way to connect the audio jacks for the FrontX box to my Audigy2 card so as to have a front panel jack to plug headphones into?

Buy an extension for your headphone jack.

You can get a different cables for the frontx panel to allow it to plug into the back of the sound card at frontx.com . You can also get one that has a disconnecting jack so when you plug h-phones in, the back panel jack is disconnected - the way it should work in the first place, but usually doesn't.

That kinda defeats the purpose though as I usually have a 5.1 speaker set plugged in.

I know the Audigy2 has the header pins for the Platinum's drive bay breakout box, I was thinking more along the lines of if any of the pins on these correspond to the pins that one would normally use for front mic/phone jacks (say, if you were running them from a motherboard header for front panel jacks).

That header pinout should be somewhere around the web if not on the Creative site itself. Google for it...

Another thread raised the same question. The pinout of the Audigy's headers are explained here.

Now that's more like it... I will try it later but methinks that's what I'm looking for.. thank you!
