Max, I'm amazed they don't work with the computer, do you have mikes that do work with the computer? There are numerous settings that have to be correct to assure you're hearing the mike input.
If they have three circuit 1/8Th inch stereo plugs, usually they want a few volts D.C. through a K ohm or more on the ring of the plug, with the audio taken from the tip connector expecting an impedance of 500 ohms or so. I've tried some of these using a few clip leads and a little radio shack amplifier. It appears that most gear looking for mikes does not provide the necessary D.C. bias voltage, but most computer sound cards do. Hope that provides some help.
