    One input and only one output? That is very unusual. The speaker out you are using must be a line out.

    Is the plug on the speaker wire the same as the plug on the headset plug...maybe one is monaural and one is stereo?

    Looks like picard hit this one. On on PC you are using a speaker out. The other is a line out.

    Liine out is a very low level signal designed to be used with powered speakers. You volume is too low in the unpowered headset for you to hear it prolly.
