then use front panel audio jacks(2 of them one audio out one mic) or use the audio jacks at the back except the damaged green one. if you use those at the back you have to change the role of the jack to headphones.

eg connect to "line in" jack windows will ask you what device you have connected, you will choose headphones.

also you can add a new sound card they are pretty cheap you know.

better not mess with usb audio, keep it simple as possible,work's better.

What you need is a USB DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) which will allow you to use analog audio devices (headphones, speakers, etc...) directly from a USB port (digital). Something like this (http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAUD-Adapter-C-Media-Chipset/dp/B001MSS6CS) should do the trick.

Edit: only use that if you must, see spigias answer first :)
