Go to your audio setting and make sure your headphone outline is set to output and not input. On the 13" Macbook since you only have one plug you can set it to be in and out. Hope that helps.

I opened volume control and had a look. Without the mic plugged in the headphones are listed as my current sound device, but the moment I plug the mic in it changes furiously between "Headphones" and "Digital Audio (S/PDIF)", never resting on one for more than a second. I remove the mic, and it goes back to "Headphones".

Also, I am using the Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R onboard sound, if that matters at all.

The Macbook cannot determine whether you're using its headphone capabilities or its optical capabilities. It could be something wrong with the jack, but without being familiar with the equipment you listed it could also have something to do with that.
