Default How to get front panel audio wtih a soundcard

I popped in a soundcard today, its a soundblaster live! value to see if i could get my mic working and It did. The only problem now is i don't want to keep going under the desk to switch the cables. Is there anyway to get front panel audio?

I currently have it plugged into the motherboard and I have integrated sound disabled in the BIOS.

EDIT:
I have another problem too. I play COD2 and and use voice. After my friend finishes talking on voice i hear a short buzzing sound. sometimes it doesn't do it but it gets really annoying when alot of us are talking.
Any ideas?

I've asked Creative several times about this issue....and never gotten a reply.
There has to be a way of wiring in the front panel audio as they have a ribbon cable and drive bay cover for their own front panel audio....I'll ask again Ty.

Thanks capper. It's a big PITA, having to go back there. The only other way I can see having front panel audio is with those drive panels that come bundled sometimes.

Convenience over Performance. Sometimes you have to make that sacrifice.

Hey Ty, I've got this little front panel USB and audio/mic assembly from an old case. It fits into an external 3.5" drive bay/ It has two USB ports (which could be left out if you wanted) and a headphone and mic jack. But what makes this different is it's basically an extension cable. You just plug the red jack into the mic port on the back of your sound card, run it through the case and into the 3.5" front panel thing. Boom, you have a front panel mic jack...
