Front Audio Pannel

JZM0 · 23 Apr 2006 at 17:34

Does anyone know of a manufacture who makes front audio pannels? i've seen the AKASA all in one. But thats not really what im after. It seems theres lots of fan controllers with USB2 on the front but no audio :mad:

. I dont really wanna buy a Sound Blaster Platinum card. But any 5.25" or 3.5" Audio controller would be defo handy.

Any ideas/pointers would be great

Thanx

Why do you need one?

How about a extension cable from the back of the pc to the front?

most newer cases have front audio jacks included, admittedly only headphones and mic, but surely thats enough?

I just want to have the ability to plug my head phones into the front, rather than traling a massive long cable behind half a dozen obsticals. But yeah anything would be useful.. Although its for a built on sound card not a PCI card.

hehe thats exactly what comes fitted as standard on my case

wouldnt call it ugly, will fit nicely into any 3.5 bay on a black case, very funtional.

Buy it, rip out the connectors and then drill some holes where you want them.

what case do you have?

Akasa Eclipse

ahhh no front audio only usb :eek:

still the silverstone panel will fit in nicely with the black of the eclipse - should be just the job for you.

Nah i dont like it, dont think it would look right :rolleyes:

You have an eclipse and think that looks ugly?

Best bet would be to make your own I guess, or you could probably get a 3.5mm extension cable and have that coming from the back, personally I use a splitter so I can have both my speakers and headphones plugged in at the same time and just turn the one i'm not using off.
