My sound card came with a 5.25" controller that has a button to switch between my headset and my 5.1 surround sound speaker system - works great and it is instantaneous.
Also includes volume controls for both the speakers/headphones and microphone.

While this might not be readily available, if you could get something similar it might do the trick for you.
I'm going to have to disagree with the people saying not to get a sound card. If you're going to embrace the dragon, then get something like this shit. I mean, look at that! It's red, it's black, it's huge, and it comes with a front panel component! There's no logical reason for you to want to pay $160 or whatever on it, but how sexy is that front panel going to look?
Yes
Hey all,
I've owned a FiiO E17 for a few years now, and am thinking of finally completing the set by picking up the K5. I only use HD650s with the E17 right now. What are your opinions on the K5 if I already own the E17? Other comparable price-to-performance?

In my pc (built years ago) I have this soundcard, though I do not use it as an output since I run my E17 via USB into the pc.
In this case, I would not purchase the K5.
Sorry for any confusion. Basically I want to know if I have some good hardware (soundcard) that is underutilized and possibly don't really need to purchase more.
It really depends on what you want, and most of the time a lot of these things can be done with bay add ons or are already common.
> You know how you only need to touch the xbox one's power button to turn it on? and it gives sound feedback
Most PCs POST (the little beep you hear when you turn it on).
> or the blu ray drive that doesnt come out but you only need to slide the disk in
Slimdrives are farily common in SFF cases like this one (slot on the front side).
There are also cases that do stuff like regulate exhaust vents being open/closed automatically (Zalman H1).
And front bay devices that do everything from regulate fans, act as sound cards, or manage overclocks exist and are pretty easy to come by.
That sound card is crazy. No one, and I mean no one, needs a sound card that costs even half that much. http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Fatal1ty-Champion-SB1354/dp/B0060SXDRI
That costs more than a new mid/high-end GPU. Was the seller blind and playing racing games by ear? And that's not even considering the fact that Creative can't make drivers. Even when they (used to) make useful hardware, their drivers were so horrible that 3rd party groups of hackers made better drivers for the Sound Blaster cards, because Creative literally couldn't do it. Their current hardware is downgraded from their old stuff.
And he used it for Logitech 2.1 speakers.
Anyway, ending rant. You can probably tell the seller to keep the sound card if he knocks $200 or $300 off the price. Or better yet, tell him to keep the sound and graphics card to knock $350 off the price, and put that money towards a new graphics card.
Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Fatal1ty-Champion-SB1354/dp/B0060SXDRI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1377681049&sr=8-5&keywords=soundblaster
or even just a better version of the asus you've got there: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XONAR-Channel-Audio-Sound/dp/B001EZQ8YC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1377681131&sr=8-9&keywords=asus+xonar
Whatever suits you really!
I am trying to get just the card from this sound card to work with the speakers from a Sony DAV-HDX285 because the main part is taking up a lot of room on my desk and does not appear to be true 5.1 since it is being ran from a single aux cable from the motherboard.
