I wouldn't buy off Jaycar for $24 but that's what you need.

Put that into Ebay, that's a local stock for $5, go 2-3m if you need to save more.

  Must be noted that the Jaycar extender is limited to USB 1.1 spec speeds.

    Is there a huge difference between USB 2 and Usb 3

      USB 1.1 = 12 Mbit/s (slooooow)
      USB 2.0 = 480 Mbit/s
      USB 3 = 3600 Mbit/s
      
      Quite a big step up, actually.

  Can you plug in speakers from the back audio port, and headphones from these? And make both of them work interchangebly, i know it work for the front audio header, but what about the usb one?
