I had a little trouble with my new laptop, I have a Packard Bell MZ380 laptop with Realtek High Definition Audio, I have installed CentOS 5 on it, I have sound by the speaker but when I plug the headphone the sound is over, I mean I have not sound by the speaker and by the headphones. Can someone help me? What I have to do ???? I'll be waiting for help.

are these analog mini-phone jack headphones, or USB headphones?
If the former, it sounds like it could be a hardware problem to me, maybe a mechanical issue with the headphone jack. are you sure the headphones work on another sound source like a ipod ? are you sure the headphone plug is fully inserted ?
the mini phone jack itself has a mechnical switch in it that opens when you insert a plug, this disconnects/mutes the sound from the speakers.

yes that is, on windows xp with the drivers, when i plug a headphones, the sytstem shows me a message turn off the sound for a while and then start by the headphones, but in CentOS, the sound propierties only shows me a master channel.

I'm sure the headphones are ok, even I have tried with external speakers and nothing happens

ah, then sounds like it requires software intervention to reconfigure the output mixer for a different output channel... most of the stuff I've used, its electro-mechanical and both headphone and speakers are on the same 'output' from the sound hardware, so the software doesn't even know or care which output is in use.
sorry, I have no clue how to make that play.
