Hi guys, need help on this, i just rebuilded my pc, i have a Abit IP35 Pro MB, a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme music 7.1 sound card, Creative inspire T6060 5.1 speaker set, and a Antec 900 gaming case, now my problem is how do i connect my headset to the pc? the X-FI sound card doesnt have a front panel connector (which my 900 gaming case have), atm i have the front panel jack for headphone and mic connected to the Abit MB front panel connector, but i have to disable the onboard audio to able to run the X-Fi sound card, so what do u guys think the best way to connect the headset? the T6060 speaker set have a headphone & Aux socket but not mic, so it doesnt work with the headset either, or am i wasted money on having the X-Fi card in the first place? any help and ideas will be great, thank you all in advance...

I have an X-Fi and just plug my headset and mic straight into the card rather than through the front panel or through speakers

Can you actually 'toggle' the sound output though? Whenever I plug my headset into my Headphones / Microphone jack, all of the sound is automatically routed through the Headset- whether or not I want to use my actual speakers. Obviously the only way to go back to using my speakers is to unplug the headset.

This seems like a lot of hassle, considering I'd have to get down behind my cabinet and pull all of my computer out everytime I wanted to use Teamspeak, or play a game with full concentration.
