    First, you talk about your Headphones working on one computer but 
not another. Then you talk about the Mike jack that has a 3 pin jack on it.

    Please tell us what is not working. I assume the thing your using is 
a compination earphone-mike like I have, and it has two plugs, one for 
earphone one for mike.

    Now what is wrong?
