By hooking that to the motherboard, will it work for my soundcard? Or do I need to connect it directly to my soundcard somehow? Back in the day there was a cable to the CD-Rom drive, but I dunno about this headphone jack..
How do I get the headphone jack on the front of my PC to work?

Do you actually have a soundcard? 99% of the people just use onboard audio..Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

hehe yea I have a couple.. I'm seriously contemplating swapping actually.. Right now I have a soundblaster X-Fi that's good for games, because it takes over the processing duties for sound, increasing performance. However I use big reference monitor speakers on my PC, and have a Echo Mia soundcard for music that I could use. Advantage to that is the 1/4" plugs, one for each speaker (like for an electric guitar for example).
With my X-Fi I get a high pitched hiss that I can't seem to get rid of. Starts as soon as windows initializes. Doesn't happen with the other soundcard..Comment

Ha! They'll never get my money.
If it comes to it, i'll order a 6ft headphone extension cable from Monoprice for $0.61. In fact, now that I think of it, if someone here wants one too we can take advantage of a bulk savings deal at only $0.59 each. That's a full savings of 4 cents, that I'll gladly split.

Kinda like when I asked at the music store how I can get a manual rotary knob for the volume on my speakers here, instead of having to use software.. They recommended the "Big Knob" for only like $300... lolz.. not quite a $300 problem..
