Area-51 R2, Front/Rear Audio Panel Problems
The audio jacks on front panel is acting as rear panel audio jacks.
So if I have speakers plugged in rear panel, and headphone plugged in front panel, I can hear from speakers AND headphone.
When I checked windows control panel (Sound - Playback devices), there was only one "Speakers", no "Headphones".
Then I checked Sound Blaster Recon3Di control panel and the front and rear panel jacks were all lit up and working fine, but it wouldn't seperate the sound from rear panel and front panel.
So... I deleted Sound Blaster Recon3Di driver, and now it is working as it should be...
Now there are "Speakers" and "Headphone" in playback device list. But now "What U Hear" is not showing up in Recording devices :(
Can someone help me out? I tried deleting the driver and clean reinstalling the driver, but it wouldn't seperate the front and the rear audio.

Seems like Windows separates the board but the manufacturer has it a single one. Our recommendation is to contact the manufacturer's support to get further help with the configuration of the driver to achieve this.

I contacted Creative Sound Blaster support and this is what I got:

I escalated the case and they told me that soon we are going to launch a drive that will fix that kind of issues, but we still don’t have the release date.

Thank you so much!
I installed the updated driver and previous problems have been solved!
The system now properly switches between Speakers (rear panel) and Headphones (front panel) when I plug/unplug Headphone jack.
"What U Hear" is back again, and it works great! All SB Recon3Di features are working fine too.
Again, Thank you so much for your support and swift fix! [:D]
Ps. Just to let people know, Speakers and Headphone is under one "Speakers" in playback devices, so do not panic when you don't see seperate Headphone playback device.
