Hi my computer only has rear mounted sockets to connect my headphones and
microphone so I thought I would fit what I think is the correct term a
"chassis-mounted front panel audio in/out module". However searching for
this does not give me what I want. I am looking for a panel that will fit in
the front of my computer so that I can plug my headphone and mic into it.
Obviously I am using the wrong terms in my search. So what should I be
searching for?
Thanks, Janice

A google of sound+card+extension+panel took me to (among others):

http://www.frontx.com/

Call these folks for their recommendation. The panel mounts in
an unused drive slot on a tower pc.

A *much* cheaper solution is
to buy short extension cables for to make your rear connectors available
at the front of your computer. They'll have male connectors on one end
and female connectors on the other.

Some add on sound cards have a front panel mounting breakout box. Maybe
the Soundblaster Audigy something or other? Google it.

I've customized two of their their front-panel drive-bay modules for use
here. It's a great system. I highly recommend it.
