update - the headphones work out of the box on my wife's much newer
laptop running Fedora 16
If you play music/sound on the F17 box, do you get a sound output ?
yes - but only on the internal laptop speakers - the headphones are mute
You most likely need to change the output device. Different ways to do this:
a. Go to
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/295/switch-output-audio-devices/
Slide the toggle button to On, in a bit you'd be asked whether you
want to install the extension. Select install. Reload gnome-shell (ie:
Alt+r, type in 'r' and Enter). Now, right clicking the volume icon
should hopefully show you the different output 'devices'. Select the one
matching your headphone socket. (btw, if you are at extensions.gnome.org
check out all the other extensions. Extensions make gnome3 so much more
usable - In fact, at least for me gnome-shell F17 + extensions
+gnome-shell-theme-zukini.noarch is proving to be better than gnome2 ;-)
...yes, that's what I said ! )
b. Open a terminal and execute 'gnome-control-center', click on Sound,
in the 'Output' tab, check if you have something like 'Analog
Headphones' in the drop down for 'Connector'. Select that and then try.
if this doesn't work ...dump gnome and use something like xfce till the
gnome guys sort it out.
