Hey guys, im sick of bending down to switch between my headphones and my speaker system on the back of my case/mobo...is there anything out there that is like an adapter that will extend out from the mobo sound port to like a little device that i can just easily plug my speaker+headphones into? Also, a sound control on it would be cool too...

is there such a thing?

Thanks, ps2cho.

get something like this

to connect your headphones to. To that attach two RCA cables http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog_name=CTLG&product_id=15-2423 and then use this adapter to mate them to work with the jack in your computer http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog_name=CTLG&product_id=274-883

You can make your own if you are good with soldering, you just need a DPDT switch, middle being the output from the pc, either side being the phones and speakers.

I have seen a little thing like this on an antec sound system my friend has.

I'm not really looking to make anything myself.

Plug that into your sound port on your mobo, then you can plug both your speakers and your headphones into. Keep in mind that sound will be coming out of both. My bro has one on his rig for the front panel audio.

This is sort of what i mean
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...CMP=EMC-neemail062105&ATT=SoundBlasterAudigy2

But thats a whole sound card. If you look at the pictures its got several sound ports on the side.

Very similar to that, just not a sound card, just the box which can change volume, and switch sound devices easily.

Im starting to think there might not even be such a thing.
