I've been wondering if it's possible to connect the front headphone port on my Antec SuperLANboy case to my audigy 2 card. I've had a look at the pin out thread posted in this forum, but I can't get my head round how to do it. Has anyone done this or able to help me out?

The headphone cable has 5 connectors -
FPout -L
FPout -R
Ret -L
Ret -L
Aud-Gnd - shared with the mic connector

If anyone could explain which pins to connect these to on the audigy I'd really appreciate it.

As far as I know you can't.

The Audigy 2 uses a digital interface between the card and the front breakout box that you can't plug a normal analog output (or input) into.

That sucks :/ Is there any way round it?

Build a DAC-box to downmix the digital output to an analog output. Probably about $30 in parts from Radio Shack, plus being able to solder it all together on a breadboard, and of course knowing what needed to be done :)

I wouldn't be much help there :)
