Recent computer cases have audio jacks at the front. Do they have another set on the back of the case?

I'm thinking of buying a headset along with a new pc. I was wondering if there were 2 sets of audio jacks for my to plug in my speakers as well as a headset at the same time to save me the trouble of unplugging/changing each audio device. I know recent cases (I still have an old case with just usb ports at the front) have the feature of audio jacks at the front, but do they have another set at the back?





Thanks in advance =]Recent computer cases have audio jacks at the front. Do they have another set on the back of the case?
Yes they do. Most new mainboards support both front audio and rear audio at the same time. You should connect the front audio panel to the mainboard (if it is not connected yet). Some mainboards disable rear panel while front audio is connected, in other cases you may use both audio together or alone.Recent computer cases have audio jacks at the front.

Some company's answer to putting front ports on is that when you slide earphone jacks in, the back speaker ports are automatically stopped....I like how with the frontx.com front ports...you can configure your own ports...

The audio jacks would be ';Built-In'; on the motherboard, sticking out at the back of your computer. The front jacks on the casing are plugged onto the ';Audio-Out'; pins on the motherboard. Therefore, you would surely have both back %26amp; front audio jacks! Depending on the layout of your motherbaord. Check, e.g. FOXCONN, ASROCK %26amp; GIGABYTE sites for motherboards with Audio-Out pins on the M/Board as well as Audio jacks at the back (of the m/board)! Insist on M/Board Manual upon buying your new PC in order to verify the 2 Audio Out Connectors as described above!
yup
Yes, you should be able to connect 'm both! Sound is builtin to the boards these days. You can also add a soundcard anytym to change the builtin one if you prefer.





Best to look at motherboards 1st before buying a case. It must match the motherboard!!
