Heaphone Input

[ace-rimmer]

hi all

just recently upgraded which has ment my old pci creative card is useless, i had the audio front panel aswell which i used mainly for heaphones.

basically i just need somet to easily plug headphones into without unplugging the 5.1 speakers

i have the dell u2410 that has an audio output but not if i can get it going that way.

is it possible using the graphics card to get audio out while still using the sound card for main audio.

thanks

hi

ive tried connecting my monitor to my graphics card via hdmi and using the dvi for the display and it shows theres audio there just not coming out of the headphone slot on the monitor.

now i remember why i kept my pci card with front panel so long

it ok i managed to get lucky and sort it, dunno if this will make sense but i duplicated the desktop through both connections, before if i chose HDMI all i was getting was my desktop wallpaper but the hdmi connection is giving me the audio, now ive duplicated the desktop so both connections show the desktop and now the audio comes out of the monitor, now all i have to do is change the default device.

i guess i dont need the dvi connection now
