As of now I've been plugging into the 3DS headphone jack and into my PC's microphone jack. In doing this I can't hear any audio from my PC or the system. I knwo this is a very noobish question but what do I need so the audio will come out of my PC speakers while I play?

It's supposed to go in the Line In jack. On my computer I also have to select Line In as the "Default Device" in Realtek HD Audio Manager.
For what it's worth I also have the recording volume at 85, which seems to match the 3DS's max volume (to my ears, anyway...).

Depends on your operating system. If you're on Windows Vista or 7, you should be able to right-click on your speaker icon on the tray, go to "Recording devices". Now find the microphone port the 3DS is plugged into, right click on that, and click "Properties". Now there should be a "Listen" tab, check the box next to "Listen to this device", hit "Apply", and you should be good to go.

I'm keep hearing myself and the gameplay at the same time. I did everything you said. What am I doing wrong? I'm using windows 7.

Mute your microphone, and use your PC's line in (not mic in).
Another person had a laptop where the external mic port was shared with the internal mic, and he couldn't select one or the other (terrible design...) If that's your case, you might be SOL.
