Angry Headsets don't Work...Headphones (as mic) Do?

Okay, I'm having a strange problem with my sound card. When I plug headphones into the headphone jack, they work fine. Where it gets weird is when I plug in microphones (on headsets in). When I plug headphones or the mic on a headset into the jack, it doesn't pick up any sound but the headphones can hear sound (like from programs). I heard from a friend that ear buds can function as headphones so I plugged my iPod headphones into the microphone jack. They worked fine (just hard to hold and type at same time). Why would headphones (functioning as a mic) work but a real mic on a headset wouldnt?

I know the mic on the headset is not defective because its a brand new headset and I've tried 2 other headsets that are brand new.

This is awfully puzzling and annoying. Thanks in advance for the speedy help
