Hi!
I just bought a sound card.
But I have a 'line out' jack connector (linked to my motherboards sound chipset) on the front panel of my computer case and i'd still like to use it.

I cant unplug some cable off my mobo and put it on my sound card (no standard cable). And i dont want to put a cable between the line out of my sound card and the line in of the mobos sound chipset (quality loss + latency?).

I'm looking for a simple program that takes the signal coming out of my sound card and redirects it to my mobos integrated sound card.

Every multimedia program (like winamp) has an option to select the output sound card.
And all audio programs have access to the sound that gets out of windows.
So i just want a program that takes the signal from 1 card, and outputs it to the other one...

I tried SoundRouter by AudioEnhance but it crashes all the time (i'll try to fix that)

Any other idea?

Thank you!

If you can select the sound source, why do you need more software? Simply connect the output from the card to the input of the onboard sound with a patch cable. I have some 4" stereo minijack patch cables here that came with voice modems.

yes it seems it's the only way...
The sound will have to be converted from numeric to analogic by my sound card, and then from analogic to numeric again by the onboard chipset. And I'll guess It will generate some latency...
I'll post here if I find a better way...

It will generate some latency, and it will add some noise to the connection, but it will let you use those front connectors (unless you disconnect it from the motherboard and go right to the new soundcard, though I don't know if that is an option).
