Front audio panel without affecting rear audio connections

Hi there!
I have a A7N8X-E Deluxe mother board. I know it supports a front audio panel
but my computer case doesn't have any. It would be useful when you want to
plug headphones. I would like to install a rack in a front bay but one you
can plug to the mother board's front audio panel connectors and NOT the rear
audio connectors.
Does anyone know a rack that would function in that way please ?

Regards

Page 20 of this specification shows the "standard" for the front
panel audio connector. This is why it is referred to as
"Intel compatible":

Here is an example - the Asus J-Panel rack. Note the words
"Intel front panel audio":

You can build your own front panel drive bay interface,
with parts from here. This is an expensive method.

Here is an example of a Soyo product - Bayone Extreme

Good ones are hard to find.

I use the parts from www.frontx.com It works good and is good quality.
It has a connector that plugs into the motherboard and leaves the rear
audio connections just as they are. You can plug your headphones into
the frontx and your speakers will be muted.
