Audio Wiring question

Small issue in my build...have CoolerMaster Centurion 5 case (with real crap instruction manual by the way) and Epox 9NPA M/B. The case has wiring for a front audio plugin and the M/B has built in rear audio. M/B instuctions refer to N/C plug (normal close) that turns off rear speakers when you plug in headphones or front speaker. The case wiring however doesn't have an n/c plug, just L and R speakers, mic in, mic power and ground. Will this work and how do I translate Mic power (do I connect that anywhere.)

Got the same board and the same case

k, I got it working in regards to the MIC..

The cable that says (MIC POWER) that goes to the front panel should *NOT* be hooked up to the 5v line (pin 4)

12
34
56
7
89

basically pin
1 = MIC IN
pin 2 = Ground
pin 3 = Mic Power (Even though the motherboard manual states it's NC - not connected)
pin 4 = (it's 5v, don't hook it up).
pin6 and pin7 (hook up the case right speaker wire on pin 6, and the little wire hanging off it on pin 7)
pin 8 (not connected)
pin 9 and 10 (lhook up the case left speaker wire on pin 9, and the little wire hanging off it on pin 10)

In the centurion case, both rear panel and front panel works on the Epox board..
