So I wasn't too sure how to title this but hopefully attracting the right people

I am buying this motherboard which is the MSI Z97M Gaming and it comes with "Audio Boost2" Basically I am just wondering, when i put my rig together am i supposed to plug my headphones directly into the jack on the back of the motherboard where all the ports are?

Or do i need an extension, some sort of device where i am supposed to connect the headphones to and the device to the computer?

Sorry I really dont know much about audio

You will plug your audio into the ports on the back.
Headphones will normally plug into the front panel, which plugs into the audio header on the motherboard.

If you do plug the headphones into the back of the computer, you have to set the port in the software to know you have headphones hooked up instead of normal speakers.

Thanks for the feedback, yea definitely needed to know this

How do you like it?

I love this mousepad. Mainly because it gives me an entire surface for my mouse and keyboard together with plenty of spare room.
It keeps my keyboard and mouse clean as well.

This one is getting a bit worn out, and I will for sure be getting a new one.
