Audio Switches?

[SorryBella]

So today, i splurge on myself with a Knowledge Zenith ES4 (i know i know, how rich) and im struggling with one thing with it.

 

I have an Onyx Studio 3 that have been my daily driver for 2 years. I like it a lot (you can pause here for a laugh), and i wanna relegate it for use when im not gaming or not in mood to use earphones. So basically, i wanna drive both at the same time, turning one of them off when i dont wanna use it. But the issue is: i only have 1 3.5mm Headphone Jack on my motherboard's IO (this case Headphone Jack is long dead, dont ask how i killed it because i dont even know). I tried to run the Onyx with its bluetooth mode and HOLY CRAP ITS ASS. Audio hitches to hell and back and sometimes it switches to the potato tape quality on windows. So my question is: Is it possible to run both my speaker and headphone and switches it on windows? I pretty much run out of ideas beyond running a USB to 3.5mm dongle.

Yes you can run both headphone (front panel) and speaker at the same time.

All you have to do is disable front panel jack detection.

So when the headphone is plugged, it will not mute the speaker.

Yeah i know, but my issue is that my 3.5mm on the front panel is long dead, hence this thread.

It's basically a dumb switch so you can either do 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 with it....

Go buy another front panel, it's only $5.
