You may want to see if you can find a manual for your system.

Usually a 3 socket setup is Line IN, Mic In, Line OUT.
I think they may be color coded.
lime green line out
Pinkish Mic IN
Blueish Line IN

First you might want to run something like alsamixer-c 0
or aumix or kmix, .... and set all sliders to mid point.
If distribution is running pulseaudio, then use pavucontrol to
set/save slider settings.

If it were me I, would move the speaker plug/jack or headset plug/jack around
until the Line OUT socket was located.

Depending on Distro and Display manager you can use
play some.wav, or aplay some.wav for audio out.

I would recommend using something like audacity to locate the Mic in socket.
