I have LITERALLY been looking for hours on end for a simple male USB to male 3.5 mm jack, but I CAN'T FIND ONE ANYWHERE!!! Can someone point me in the right direction?

That's because it's not that simple, you need to convert digital audio to analog audio with a DAC chip.

 

With this you just need to add cables, it's about as simple and cheap as it gets:

grokit is right. That said, at least one manufacturer has compacted all that down into a cable - like this one, that Headfonia reviewed:
