Lime green jack on mobo not outputting sound to speakers

Hi,

I've just tried my speakers (didn't check them when I plugged them in a few days ago!) and I'm getting nothing from the lime green speaker jack on the motherboard. From what I can see in the sound settings, the output called "Speakers" is actually the jack on top of the case (so the front jack I guess?). Spec below, any help is gratefully received.

Also, I only have headsets with pink & green plugs, I saw another post on here about sound issues, and it reads like these aren't going to play nicely with my new set-up (as opposed to a USB headset), is that right?
