Audio Devices, and then Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager.
2 Click the Audio I/O tab.
3 Click the tool icon in the Front Panel section. The connector settings
window displays.

The front pink and green connectors can now be used as input or output devices.

Configuring Multi-streaming Audio

The Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager software allows you to listen to two different
audio sources on two different speaker sets.
For example, you hear one audio source through a rear-panel speaker connection
and a second source through a front-panel headphone or speaker connection. You
must configure Multi-streaming Audio for your system if you want to hear two audio
sources on separate speakers.

Audio output overview

The front-panel audio output is the stereo headphone (green) connector only.
The rear-panel outputs are the speaker connectors that can be set up as multi-
channel out from stereo (2.1) to 7.1 (select models only) configurations. Refer to
your user documentation for powered speakers or AV receiver setup information.
