Expansion Slot Audio Jacks (hooked to front panel connector)

I was wondering if any one had even seen and expansion slot (Rear PCI/PCIe/APG) insert with audio plug that can be hooked up to the front panel audio connector on the mother board.

I have an Antec 4u Server case witch has no front audio port witch is not a big deal since I have better access to the rear of the computer, Now my built-in sound has the ability to act a 2 sound cards (2 different outputs, the front can act independently from the back) Now I was looking at some headsets and saw some nice ones that I may get with 3.5mm plugs (I have been using USB for the headset) but I want to keep game/desktop sound trough the main speakers and Vent/Teamspeek trough the headset but since I dont have front audio I was wondering if anyone has seen anything that can go in a Open expansion slot that can hook up to the front audio connector.

Hope that makes sense, and I know its kind of a long shot but maybe some has seen something.

P.S. I know I could get a cheap sound card to do it but I cant really use the PCIe or PCI slots without losing some USB Connectors (Every expansion but 1 has USB plugs hooked to the front panel USB connectors) and the one expansion slot free wont allow for the USB wires to get to the USB connector since it is on the CPU side of the Video card.

I fully understand what it is you're wanting (front panel audio connector -> PCI slot/backplane insert/cover).

No mainstream company I know of makes such a thing. However, such a device was in fact made for the DFI LANPARTY LT X48-T2R motherboard. It's called a "Bernstein audio module", and looks like this:

I have absolutely no idea how you'd get your hands on one of these though.

An alternative would be a FrontX device. It's the reverse of what you want (meaning the connectors would be on the front of your PC). Don't let the pictures fool you either -- they do make a product that lets you hook the front panel audio connector to a device that gets installed in the front of your PC, just not a PCI slot/backplane insert/cover.

Is this what you are looking for?

Very close but mine has a 10pin Audio connector that one has 12.

I found a 10pin version here »www.cyberresearch.com/store/indu···50.2.htm



Now the question is it the AC'97 pinout....

I e-mailed them asking for the pinout of the connector and received a reply, looks like that's not gonna work, so if anyone has any other ideas.

Here is the Pinout BTW

Just a bump, for a glimmer of hope that someone know of something.
