Hmm... Not as simple as I thought. I do want two audio outputs, so that two people with headphones can listen to the same thing, but I would like it to be all within the case, rather than simply using a 3.5mm splitter like I am now. Plus If I bought that fan controller with the inputs, I...

This seems like it should be obvious, plz forgive my ignorance. I just built a new computer, and I wanted to add a fan controller in an empty drive bay slot. The fan controller that I like has a headphone, and mic jack. My question is, I've already used the one audio connection on my mobo for...
