my desktop computer has one of those front headphones connectors, and it always worked (always = since Fedora8), playing the same audio that goes to the front speakers. I tried it today and it doesn't work anymore,
Open up the volume controls and see if there's a separate volume control just for the headphones. You might have to wallow through the preferences to add more controls.
Thks for the tip, but I had already done that. There's a chekcbox for headphone, which is checked. I also tried playing with every track volume level that seemed reasonable, but it did not work.
(if anyone can provide more info on any specific settings that would affect headphone sound, that'd be great...)
my guess is that some of the recent updates might have changed something on audio config
You might look through /var/log/yum.log to see what's been recently updated, and see if they're a likely cause.
I took a look, but thet fact is that I can't precise when it stopped working, so the timeframe could be long... =(
Thks anyway for your help.

Andre
Just a quick update: it's a bug with the lastest kernel. Headphone works with kernel 2.6.26.6-79. I filed it as bug #472317:
In fact, this happened to me when I upgraded to alsa driver 1.0.18. Going back to alsa-driver 1.01.7 solves the problem. I think your kernel is using 1.0.18, and I doubt anyone is going to fix it.
The only option is reporting in the alsa-devel list , and maybe someone there can do anything about it.
