I have a lose cable in my custom PC! any ideas?

My PC case has 2 USB ports on the front which i have connected to the motherboard and work fine, but i also have 2 audio cables (a mic jack and a headphone jack) which would be really useful if i could find where to plug the cable!!!!
it's labeled 'Audio' naturally and the only place it seems to fit is shown in the picture but that doesn't work.
the motherboard is a P965Neo-F V2
any ideas as to where it should be plugged?

Audio plug

Unfortunately the audio plugs on cases do not always match the configuration of the plug socket on the board. You have the right place for plugging in, but you may have to separate the case plug into individual wires, hopefully their function is marked on them and clip them on individually. Your motherboard user manual should show which pin does what. Read your manual though, very often using auxiliary connectors disconnects the main out put, which you may not want.
