Front panel separate output on Realtek ALC888

[movsl]

How can I enable separate front panel output on realtek codec ? Realtek calls that multiple streaming, it lets speakers play the music while on headphones you hear your skype call. I tried using HD-Audio and Ac'97 option in BIOS (my case have both connectors) with no results. My case panel is HD-Audio capable.

Specs :
Mobo : Abit IP-35 Pro with Realtek ALC888 codec
Case : Coolermaster CM-690
OS : Windows Server 2008
realtek driver version : 6.0.1.5683

Hmmm...i just keep my headphones plugged in and change the primary sound device in the control panel as needed...I'll check later tonight after i get back from work...

In control panel -> Sound I have only speakers and Realtek Digital Output (this one is disabled), nothing to choose from. The option for multistreaming should be in the somewhere in mixer options (some of old realtek readmes states that), but I just don't see it. There is no advanced mixer control in vista/w2k8 as it was in xp/w2k3, mixer that comes with realtek has hardly any options ( called "sound effects" )
