Through the SPDIF_IO connector?
Note: For the record, I am NOT talking about the Creative front panel, I accidentally called it that in the first thread and it's not what I meant so I remade it. I am talking about the standard AC97 connector found on most cases.
I was worrying about it because I've noticed in the custom builds I've made that the cases all used the AC97 thingy that plugged into a port on the motherboard that looked like the SPDIF_IO port seen on the card in the picture. Whereas my OptiPlex GX280 that I'm using and several other Dells I've seen have the front headphone port plug into the motherboard and conveniently into my X-Fi through that Creative Proprietary port on the upper left of the picture. To clarify, the motherboard also has the Creative Proprietary port.
I'm just making sure because I REALLY don't want to lose front headphone port functionality since I only use my headphones pretty much.
