Front Audio Help - MIC_BIAS vs. VCC

I have a Neo2 865Pe motherboard and a Chenbro PC61166 case and I need
some help hooking up the front audio.

Accoring to the manual, the pins are as follows:

1 - AUD_MIC (Front panel MIC input signal)
2 - AUD_GND (Ground used by analog circuits)
3 - AUD_MIC_BIAS (Microphone power)
4 - AUD_VCC (Filtered +5V used by analog audio circuits)
5-10 - LINE-IN/LINE-OUT, etc.

The wires in question are as follows:

Red - MIC-IN
Black - GND
White - MIC-VCC
All other wires are line-in/line-out
and I've got a handle on what to do with those.

I am assuming that Red(MIC-IN) goes to Pin-1(AUD_MIC), and that
Black(GND) goes to Pin-2(AUD_GND).

But I need some direction as to whether White(MIC-VCC) should be
connected to Pin-3(AUD_MIC_BIAS) or Pin-4(AUD_VCC) or whether it
matters.

Thanks - I really appreciate it.

I don't know your hardware Bob, but the electret mikes need power to work,
so no volts on pin 3 no noise. Pin 4 I assume will power something like a
headset with built in amplifiers or tone filters. If you do not have such a
thing you do not need power on pin 4, HTH.
