I plan using the internal sound chip and the audigy2 pci card at the same time if I could. but if i could only use 1 then I'll use the audigy2 pci with the audio box it comes with.
if i could use both I need a front panel to connect to the audio header as on the pictures. 1 is audio header the other is the audio box for the audigy2

Are you trying to connect the audigy front panel to your internal motherboard sound?

no the audio box is an external and no I wanna buy a front panel different than the audigy2 so I can have one on the facing of the case, but if I could only use 1 sound card then I'll disable the built-in card.
 
I think you should be fine with 2 sound cards running at the same time. I do the same with my Auzen X-Fi Forte + Motherboard internal sound.


Maybe get an adapter that converts from the Audigy connector to standard HDA and get whatever front panel you like since all those front panel should use standard HDA to connect.

dude i don't think my audigy has that connector for the hda adapter
 
Been here, done this. Don't.

I'd be more inclined to DIY one's own using (more) proper cables and connectors.
Basically, you just need a couple 'panel mount' 3.5mm receptacles, and could salvage some better-shielded cable from any number of sources. (as long as kept esp. short, you could 'splice on' the existing header connectors to your cables.)

Every single time I've hooked up FP Audio to a sound card, it sounds awful.
First tried to do this with an X-Fi xtrememusic PCI in a p35-ds3 and Apevia/Aspire case, last tried this with a Xonar STX in an X570 and NZXT case.
(note: even the FP audio on my ITX Bitfenix build (several years back) wasn't very good, and they used higher quality cables/FP board)

At least once, connecting the FP was 'introducing' noise to the card via the long unshielded FP lead, even when not using the FP audio ports. In other words, just having it connected was introducing noise and audio artifacts.

I only see the CD audio connector on my audigy 2 zs card that's what I was speaking in my video, is that what you mean? the card needs power I just bought the fdd cable for it that will fit
 
did you see my video? can you find any connector i could use hda?
