As for your question, the audio implementation on your platform is only meant for stereo analog connections.

Yeah, I know that already. I've read the manual
But although there isn't any info in the manual about such possibility (unlike in case of Z690 UD DDR4), I wanted to ask to make sure.
So, in short, it's not possible to use the old front stereo speakers and subwoofer with this MB?
And yeah, my bad about 2.1. I don't actually even have the central speaker anymore. It's that I have old 5.1 speakers which I'm still using, and wanted to keep using them (at least front ones and subwoofer) with this MB, until I buy a new audio system for my PC sometime in the future.
Oh, and I'm not sure if I understood the last part - "which will all operate off of the pine out on the rear or the front panel of your build. "
