The pink one is for the microphone input, you want to plug it into the green one.

 

You can check if yout computer is even outputting an audio signal by trying to play an audio file with Windows Media Player. If it plays, then you don't need to fiddle with the driver thing but I still recommend that you look for newer drivers anyway.

Plug your speakers into the green one like stated above, sometimes u gotta restart your pc.  also go to the control panel, sound, and make sure your volume is not muted or turned way down.

You won't get any sound without the appropriate drivers. Most sound chips are integrated so you need to install the motherboard drivers. If you are using an OEM computer, the drivers are typically shipped with it on CD. If not, you can check the manufacturer's site to download the drivers for your model.
