You can identify the pins this way - using a pair of old junk headphones. Cut the wire and, on the part with the plug, bare all 3 cores. You will have ground (bare metal) and two channel wires.

Hey guys
I HOPE you can help. I'm just doing some hardware hacking.
I use an old pc as bedside table but I had the idea to use it as a docking station.
For that I need the pin assignment of the phone connector's bush.
I searched on the internet, but just found a plan with which I could not do anything because it was just labeled with NUMBERS. (http://www.pc-max.de/forum/attachments/hardware-peripherie/7443d1080734127-belegung-3-5mm-klinkenstecker-buchsen-belegung-3.5-mm-buchse.jpg)

Thanks a lot and a happy Christmas.

Never heard of a "phone connector bush".

The OP is a German speaker, I think. "Buchse" is a German word that means "socket" or "female connector". It can also mean "bush" (a ring or cylinder) and maybe he thinks that the English word "bush" means the same as "socket".

Both these things are called "buchse" in German

1. A bush

2. Sockets (x2)

The linked diagram is of a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) jack socket, the type used for headphones etc. This is nothing to do with "phones" (i.e. telephones).

Helpful to know the motherboard make & model, and what Chris G. wants to do.

Yeah sorry I meant the headphone socket
Just didn't get the right words from leo.org.
As SAID I have got this old PC as bedside table. The motherboard is a no-name product used in a MEDION-PC (German firm), it's a Microstar 7091 (http://imageshack.us/a/img164/1340/ms7091set25vk.jpg).
