Talking no aaudio with video problem

This is my first crack at video editing so I'm not familiar with the hardware so maybe one of you guys can help me out.I have a MSI FX5600XT-VTDR128 video card and a Panasonic VHS camera.I'm loading the video from the camera to my hard drive.The cable that came with the camera has a small jack on one end to plug into the camera and it splits on the other end into one yellow jack(I think it's a video S connector)and another white connector for audio.The video card has an adaptor that plugs into the card on one end and the other end has four plugs:video in and video out "S" plugs and audio in and audio out plugs that look like PS2 plugs only they have four pins.I think these are RCA jacks?So I'm not getting any audio on the Mpeg files because there"s nowhere to plug In the audio from the video camera.Is there an adaptor made to change the white audio plug to the RCA plug.The manual for the card is useless.I have all the software and hardware installed properly.The videos download from the camera are fine,just no audio.The camera is about four years old.Thanks

Does the white connecor from the camera look like THIS? If so, that is an RCA plug. Does the "four pin" plug look like THIS would fit in it? if so, that is an S-Video plug. You can't hook the sound up to your video card. You must plug it into the line in on your sound card.

I tried it and I think it blew out the sound on my motherboard.

What plug did you plug it into? I doubt you blew the sound. What motherboard do you have? I have an Asus A7V333 and in order to use the line in I have to disconect the rear speakers and change the setting in the mixer to two speakers.

I got the sound back by reinstalling the audio driver.The RCA jack isn't the same as the audio jack from the speakers.It doesn't fit properly.I used the blue jack.The board is a gigabyte 8IK1100 with a 2.6 800P4.
