Possible to connect Case audio points to Xfi Fatal1ty?

[harris1986]

ok guys just curious here, is it possible to connect pc case audio jack points to my xfi fatal1ty pci card? googling shows people saying both yes + no ? there are many pin points on the card itself and currently only one is being used and that's the one to connect it to my front xfi i/o console, which i don't really want!

YES - BUT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!

I'm told this works but OcUK cannot be held responsible if this goes pear shaped:

Here is the pin layout of the internal front panel jack header pins, it's the same as Audigy 2's:

Rest of Card

1 - Analog Ground
2 - Analog Headphone Out Left
3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- short to ground to mute the backpanel (when headphones are plugged in)
4 - Analog Headphone Out Right
5 - same as #3
6 - Mic input from front panel
7 - No Connection
8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic
9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +12VDC when mic is plugged in
10 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not normally used)
