I accidentally pulled the cable connected to the stereo headset and microphone from the PCB that has the Volume and Mute function (in which the USB A cable is attached)

The headset cable has a green, a red, a red/green, a blue, and a bare copper wire (which I am assuming is ground)
The PCB solder pads are labeled 1C, 1W, 3C, 1 (C or G), 2R
The red/green wire brought its solder pad with it (no problem as to where it goes)
I am not sure if I am seeing any colored threads still attached to the solder pads. (10x loupe)

Is anyone familiar with this PCB labeling or wire color scheme?
Thanks!

Green wire typically corresponds to audio out (right channel).

Red wire is generally for the microphone (audio input).

Blue wire might be for audio out (left channel).

Red/Green wire can be used for things like volume control or mute signals, based on your description.

Bare copper is likely ground (G).
