Where Do I Plug In "HD Audio" On My Motherboard?

Where Do I Plug In "HD Audio" On My Motherboard?

I have a MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard and my front IO panel requires that I plug in the HD audio plug before I can plug in my headphones.

Where is it on my board? I have look alround but no success.

I am not interested in plugging it in somewhere that might screw up my computer.
