What kind of headphones are you using? Are they amplified? I'm asking because you are using the line-out jack for the headphones. The line-out jack is typically reserved for connection to an amplifier, such as your home theatre system.

In any case, you need a cable that will convert the Red and White "RCA" connection to a 3.5mm round jack that will plug into the line-out of your motherboard.

Adapter for use with an existing RCA cable:
