Simple audio card with HD/aafp

[bobthemagicmoose]

Storytime: I was replacing the video card on my computer and, despite having it powered down, I ended up shorting out the onboard audio chip on my motherboard. Moral of the story, unplug before changing things. Ever since, I have been using audio over HDMI which kinda works, but it's annoying if the monitor goes to sleep while I'm listening to music. So...

I'm looking for a simple and cheap sound card that will have connectors for aafp/ HD audio for the front panel of my tower (for headphones).

Any suggestions? ~$10 range perhaps, ebay included.

Well for the front panel really there aren't that much i could find. Although Creative seemed to make sound cards with custom front I/O panel but they have been discontinued. What country you live in there are some refurbished ones that i found on ebay hope it helps you: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XCreative+Sound+Blaster+Recon3D+Fatal1ty+Champion+&_nkw=Creative+Sound+Blaster+Recon3D+Fatal1ty+Champion+&_sacat=0

Thanks! I'm in the US, but that should help. I guess
I can always just connect the cables manually, use the soldering iron

Only if you can find a card with I/O panel else nowadays there aren't that many sound cards that come with panel. And good luck with finding mostly creative brand provides card with I/O panel and i think it is x-fi series not sure but it was something like that.
