I would either stick it at the bottom of front panel and locate it all the way to the left.  or just below what looks like an led in your picture.

"Stereo jacks" may be comprised of four pins, ground left audio right audio and "sense" for lack of any better explanation. IIRC the sense and ground are shorted if headphones are not plugged in and disconnected when they are. This why the speakers blipped out when you plug in the headphones. It's also how you laptop or pc determines when you plug something in.

I'm not an expert but I suggest using two separate amps to do what you want. There is a way to force the amp to drive both external speakers and headphones (nevermind why ) But you'll probably get an impedance mismatch and you'll probably burn something out after awhile.

But if you must. Look for the two pins on the stereo jack that are shorted and not shorted when plugged in. These are the two that need to be soldered together.

There should be a way to toggle this with the software drivers.

For a Realtek for example, you would click the box:

I burn my fingers twice  but the job is done i  remove the headphone jack from speakers board and set it up in front. Thanks. for the advice . This progam you said works if i hide windows? For future use.

Dont forget to hold Soldering tool from the right side.

Oh.. I understand now. I was just in L.A. and had a wonky network connection. You were trying to extend the jack to the front. I didn't see the picture you drew. I was wondering what you were up to.
