You need to add an amplifier to your speakers. The 3.5mm jack that your headphones use is a line level signal, and is not intended to actually power speakers. You can probably pick up a used/cheap amp for less than $50 from craigslist.

if you can get a part number, you could try to replace it. Depending on the value of the unit, it may or may not be worth replacing. Major components tend to approach cost of a full replacement unit.
