Ok I have a 1/8 stereo headphone cable that had a plug on one
side break. I cut the plug with a bit of wire still attached from an old pair of head phones to splice and fit it.

Ok on the cable that I'm repairing there is a big black wire containing two separate smaller insulated wires, one red (pink), one white and there is an uninsulated wire as well totaling three wires.

On the wire and plug from the old head phones there are two separate black wires containing two wires each. In one of the black wires there is a blue coated (not insulated) wire and a uncolored uncoated wire. On the other is a red coated (not insulated) wire and a other uncolored uncoated one.

I have burned off the coatings on all these wires at the tip and am ready to connect them to my original cable but I have no idea how they are to be correctly connected to ensure that the music is stereo and that it is coming out how it is supposed to sound.

I am using this cable to connect my PC audio output to my PC speaker system which has a sub and two satellite speakers.

They both sound like stereo to me. The first is red, white, and ground. Red is probably right, white is left, and the other is ground.

The other just has separate grounds in each cable. Blue is probably left, red is right, and you connect both grounds together.

On the stereo pin, the tip is left channel, the center is right channel, and the wide third section is ground.

Connect red to red,

Connect white to blue,

Connect other three grounds together.

Not a good idea! the third wire is a grounding wire, if there would be any kick back of juice from the speakers, your pc will take a hit, and have no way to protect itself.

You may be (slightly) dyslexic. You may truly be seeing some things and letters backwards. See if there is some way you can be tested (perhaps the school nurse may have ideas or a counselor). Whatever it is (dyslexia, ADD, ADHD) there are degrees to each and, with training you will be ok and pick up your grades. Try to talk to parents or other adult who can help youfigure this out. Just telling you to study more a tthis point will not help much, if at all.

this is easy just match the colors mainly what you need to colred wires with color wires and uncolored with uncolored try touching the wires together instead of conecting them first dont worry it will not shock you and it will not mess up anything

One plug is stereo one is not. It takes two separate circuits for stereo, right & left.
