    Right been building a PC but ive got stuck on one silly thing only because its different than my last build and doesnt match up. The front panel audio has single wires unlike my last one which just simply plugged in. These wires have

    RETURN L
    RETURN R
    SPK OUT R
    SPK OUT L
    MIC IN
    MIC BIAS

    I know what they all mean but the problem is the motherboard is well different
    and I cant figure out where they go.

    here is the screen shot of the boards header

    Any help would be very much appreciated :)

    I can't readily correlate the two sets of labels ....

    Are the wires colour coded - is the header colour coded?

    Do the wire colours match those of the moulded plug you had previously?

    Your best bet is to locate the speaker connections and work on from there.

    SPK OUT L = OUT2 L
    SPK OUT R = OUT2 R

    would seem a good starting point.

    From the Asrock website:

    In case it helps, here is the list of Intel header pinouts with the matching AC97 equivalents:
