Connecting MIC and EAR to front panel of case in ASUS board

Hello. I have an ASUS A7N8X E-deluxe motherboard ( http://tinyurl.com/3el2g ) which I am trying to connect to the front panel for Microphone and Headphone of my Sky Hawk case ( http://tinyurl.com/786rg ) . On page 2-26 or reader page 46 of the manual it says: front panel audio connector (10-1 pin FP_AUDIO and I have to remove the jumper pins. Now the motherboard pins are setup:

Motherboard

MIC2______AGND
MICPWR___+5VA
Line out R__BLINE OUT R
NC
Line out L__BLINE out L

And the CASE wires are:

MIC (bunched together)

MIC GND
MIC-VCC
Mic IN

EAR (bunched together):

Ear L1___Ear L2
Ear R1___Ear R2
GND

I have a few guesses but I have to say I am a little confused.

So it should be:
MIC2=MIC IN
AGND=MIC GND
MICPWR or +5V =MIC VCC

Line out R =Ear R1
BLINE out R=Ear R2

Line out L = Ear L2
BINE out L = Ear R2

so that leaves a choice of MIC VCC or +5v for the MIC-VCC AND one ground wire with no pin if I am looking at this right. THe motherboard has 9 pins (but 1 is NC) and the case has 8 wires for the MIC and EAR. So the only thing that is left is the confusion around the (MICPWR----+5VA) and the lonely GND wire for the case. But that should about do for the most part.

Thanks

From the link provided, I can see that this is a noted problem. Odd that this is the INTEL standard; but I still am not sure I understand what to do ( http://www.frontx.com/info/au_1gpin.html ). Now i found this link, they say to put the ground on the NC but I thought NC stands for Not Connected. ( http://tinyurl.com/7k7jr0 ). I found various other websites addressing this issue but none with a solution. I am left with the only solution of splicing the 2 ground wires together along with one end. I still am not sure about the MIC PWR & +5v: what the difference is? One of them has to go to Mic VCC.
