    Put an ohmmeter across them and see what happens when you press the
    buttons on the case. Put headphones or a shorted jack plug in each of
    the audio connectors and check continuity. Stick 6v across them (in
    both directions) and see if anything lights up.

    not being familiar with your case i can only give general suggestions.

    The black cable is most likely ground. Try putting it
    there. Play an audio file on your system, looping so you
    have continuous output. Open up the windows mixer so you
    have access to the L & R balance slider. Hook your speakers
    or headphones, etc, up to the front case output jack but
    don't plug the microphone in yet. So, you're creating an
    environment in which you'd immediately hear sound if you
    connected the cable right. Then plug in one of the other
    wires... try the red one as a random first-start.

    Plug it into the left or right channel pin where the jumper
    was, the "line out" pin of that pair. At that point you
    should have audio on your left or right speaker, but you'd
    need to use the windows mixer to determine if it's the left
    or right channel for that color of wire. Repeat this
    process with the next randomly-chosen color. Since you only
    have 4 wires, one is ground, one is left-out, one is
    right-out, and one is mic2. By process of elimination
    you're wanting to get the output right before plugging in
    the mic, so system isn't trying to play sound through the
    mic which is possible but not a good thing to do, could
    damage a mic.

    SO with only 4 wires, once you have the left and right
    channel output working right, which requires 3 wires, you
    only have the one remaining that could possible go to the
    mic. Since you only have the 4 wires instead of 6, it isn't
    possible to have a return that would enable output to rear
    motherboard jacks too, without electrical modifications
    which seem beyond your abilities... someone with such
    abilities would probably have used a multimeter to check
    continuity on the wires and the jack pins but given the
    method I described above you shouldn't need to do that.
    Just don't hook any wires up to the 5V or Mic-pwr, unless
    you are SURE you have higher-grade equipment that needs a
    voltage source (typical PC components do not).

    i am reluctant to post the site as i don't know them and i am loyal to MGs who normally can fix anything with time.

    Why you don't read the manual?
    On page 33,34 you have schematic for the front mic/audio header.

    where did you find the manual Goran?

    i am working blind but this might help.

    green@white-power led
    red@white-hd led
    black@white-power switch
    black@blue-reset switch.
    yellow-mic
    red- right out (speaker)
    red- leftout (sp)
    black ground.
    white d-
    green d+
    black ground.
    Without knowing the make and model of mb, you will have to go to the manual and it will show the pin headers on the board.
    Good luck and hope this helps.
