I have installed the drivers, for my Realtek HD Audio sound card, and the sound works just fine in the speakers, the problem is when i put my headphones in the jack (S/PDIF), i have no sound on the phones, i don't understand why.
Where are you plugging the headphones in? The speaker has the jack or the sound card... Can you still hear sound from the speakers when you plug in the headphones? It sounds more like a physical/hardware not Linux/software issue... do the phones work on other systems?
I pluging in the sound card jack, and yes, the phones work just fine in Windows, and when i plugged them no sound came out of the speakers has it should be. The problem is really about the linux drivers (wich are the last) or something like that.
I have had similar issues with FC4 - in my case the jacks were remapped.
It does sound like HW.
You plug phones into the sound-card, into the speaker jack?
In this case, sound is being delivered to the jack, it gets to the speakers, but not to the headphones. What does this tell you?
You plug the phones into a special "phones" jack... then it is probably muted. Run alsamixer and see.
