Don't know what a jackson amp looks like, but the lead is the right one for mot people. 3.5mm stereo from the PC to 2x phono L+R jacks.

Try that jack on your TV or something of that sort.

Start out simple in your testing...hook up headphones or whatever to the PC audio out...does it work?

Plug your cord into a cd player or something and test the cord/amp setup.

If you tested your computers sound output, and your amps audio input...then your homemade cord is the problem.
