Speaker and Headphones Situation

[Lonz]

How does one get around the problem of using both speakers and headphones very often. I want to use my speakers for music and movies etc, but I also do a lot of gaming that requires my headphones. I don't want to have to go round the back of the PC to switch them both round every time I use them but also don't want to lose the quality of putting my headphones in the front jack of my case.

Using

- Acoustic Energy Aego M 2.1 Speakers
- Sennheiser 595 Headphones.
- X-Fi Creative Gaming Soundcard.

I've already bought the soundcard.

Do you have a front panel on your case for sound output?
I have an Antec Sonata 2 case and the lead from the front panel on the case, (which I'm guessing is a standard audio plug) fits directly onto the soundcard (X-fi gamer)

OMG... I feel like a complete tit now...
