Ben,

The Asus PRIME X470-PRO in this desktop has:
   - 4 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 (up to 5Gbps) at back panel (blue)
   - 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gbps) front panel connector (yet, there are 2
 	ports visible on the front panel.)
   - etc on mid-board

The front panel has mic (red) and headphone (green) ports on the front.
Perhaps, I could connect the headphone mini-phono plug in the green port,
perhaps a USB-A female port -> mini-phone plug for the microphone/Focusrite
pre-amp, and use one of the front panel ports for the webcam. But, a USB hub
would be more convenient; I'd leave the components attached and connect the
hub to the desktop when needed.

Your advice, please,

Rich
