xfi question, headphones & speakers -switch using software?

[bledd]

I'm considering getting some cheapo speakers (gigabyte 6500) for my gaming pc (as it's in the bedroom)

i've got an xfi music, are you able to have headphones & speakers plugged in and decide in windows which one to use (i don't want to have to unplug headphones all the time)

loved my Game Theatre XP, because it had the volume/power switch on the front panel

cheers for the reply

so whilst head phones are active, speakers are muted? (and visa versa)

which connections at the back should i use




-sorry for the multiple questions mate

so the flexi-jack isn't able to do this?

i don't have front sockets, i've got an old school CM case :0
