Without having to hook and unhook them into my Z560's and Audigy? Will I have to buy a adapter or something? Anyway to hook the CD-Rom to the sound card and use the CD-Rom headphone jack? Would like to fix it so I can switch between the speakers and headphones.

LOL!

But what a lot of us do is to keep both the speakers and headphone connected using a Y adaptor.
When you want to hear the speakers, turn up the volume on them.



this does the trick.

Yeah, if you don't have the Audigy drive then just use a Y-splitter and turn down the volume on your Z560s when you want to use the headphones.

I can't remember what they are called, but I bought a "thingy" at CompUSA that my headphones and speakers attach into, both mic and speakers, and it goes plugged into the soundcard. It has a button at the top which switches me from headphones to speakers, instant switch without having to switch the wires. Was like $15 or something. In fact, I need to get another one in case this one ever breaks. :)

Ok, I finally found it:NewQ DAP II
