What Adapter Do I Need To Listen To Music From My Computer Through Headphones Plugged Into The Usb Socket?

When I use headphones or stereo speakers I can only get sound on one channel, if the phones or speakers are plugged into the computer’s line out socket. So I get sound from only one speaker, and from one one earpiece of the headphones.
I was told the cause of the problem was likely to be a fault with the sound card, and that I could get round it by using USB speakers. These come with their own software, and plug into a USB socket on the computer. This, I was informed, would bypass the suspect sound card, and give me sound on both speakers. That sounds like a simple solution.
BUT I want to use headphones to listen to music from the computer. And the headphones have a small, round plug on the end.
Could someone PLEASE tell me if I can get an adapter to enable me to connect the headphones to the computer’s USB socket?
I am not technically minded. I usually get bits and pieces from a Maplin’s electronic store. What should I ask for?
Thanks to anyone who can help with this.
