I think it is the green box just next to the pink one is the audio out.
I may be wrong, I cannot read it carefully, but I think in says "OUT".
The pink is for a mic, and the blue for a line in.

I tryed pluging it in to all of them but not luck, the black one next 2 the blue think that i hav circled says "s-out" and the yellow one next to that says "av-out"could it be the "s-out" one, only thing is its not a 3.5mm jack, any1 know wat it could be

Could you navigate to

"Start>Run> and type in devmgmt.msc" and tell us if there are any question marks or exclamation points?

The screen should look like this:

What operating system does the computer have?

The green port is audio out. The S-Video and AV-out (black and yellow connectors) are for video only, they don't carry audio.

Do you have some spare speakers that you could plug into the green port and see if they are working? Also make sure the sound isn't muted or turned down all the way.

hit print screen and then hit copy in paint. (Here is how to do it!)

I think it might be that your drivers aren't installed for audio..
