Title: Front Panel vs. Rear Panel Audio
Post by: James165 on June 06, 2012, 08:05:40 AM

I am planning on buying the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Sound Card, but was wondering if there was any difference between the front panel audio and the rear panel audio. Is there any difference at all? If so, which has better sound quality?

Thanks in advance.

I notice that you have this same query on another forum and to date no one seems to have ventured a response. So we here at CH hopefully will do better than that. Here is a link that gives some opinions.
