Headphones work with some distros, but not with others on Gateway.

On my gateway laptop, my headphones work with openSUSE, don't work with elementaryOS and work but sound still comes through the speakers on debian. So I know it's not a hardware problem. Any tips?

Let me guess - I;ll have to because you gave no information - chipset, soundcard, distro, config to mention a few of the basics. Please include all thwese in your reply.

You have somebody's hda_intel sound card which has a jungle of configuration options? If you tell us what you have, somebody *even me) might know what to do with it.

Your right. I didn't include any info. I apologize. I think my sound card info is: S Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio

The sound works fine with the headphones on openSUSE 11.4, doesn't work at all on elementary 0.2, and sound comes through both the headphones and the speakers on debian 6.

But I think I'll just start using openSUSE since they work on that.
