System specs
Where are you plugging the headphones to? hat happens if you plug them to the same place as your speakers? You may have to enable the specific jack you are using for the headphones in your soundcard control panel.

So you only have one "jack" to plug in the speaker cord? There aren't any around it? I would hope that there are two others right next to it, maybe different colors?

How old is your computer, and what are its specs (things like processing power and memory)? Also, what kind of speakers are you using?

Have you tried plugging the mic into the pink-colored jack? If not, that's the one you should be plugging it into.

If you are plugging it into the pink-colored jack (or whatever color your mic jack is), then try going to Start, then Programs, then Accessories, then Entertainment, then Volume Control. In the Volume Control, click Options (in the upper left) then Properties. Scroll down the list (make sure that the box next to Playback is checked) and check the box next to Microphone. Click OK then make sure the volume slider under Microphone is turned up at least halfway. This may help, although I'm not sure how...maybe the mic is interfering with the headphones, and turning up the mic volume will turn on/up the headphone volume.

check all of your volume settings to make sure that none of them are muted anywhere
