I apparently have been able to connect the front panel audio cables of my case to my mobo to get the front audio working. The problem I have is that when I plug in headphones, for example, to the front the back audio is muted. How can I get both to work? Is this a hardware limitation or can software resolve this?

Info: Asus P4VP-MX motherboard
not sure what other info would help.

Thanks for your time,

The first place I'd recommend looking is in the drivers. I know for the X-Fi there's an option for this in the drivers...perhaps you'll have a similar option?
