You might try to insert the plug better, if it is not seated well you can get issues like you have.
Or your external Audio if messed up.
Try with a different external first to see if the problem is the Mac or the external.

thanks for the reply.
My headphone is working with other devices, And i've tried other headphones too and they're all having the same result.
I've reset Vram(cmd+option+p+r) and SMC.

Ah, I think I know what you mean, if this is the case it is or the Software you use but I don't think so, or HW problems or a problem with the audio drivers.

First thing to do is try both of these.

1.Make a new User Account, logout and into the new one once, let it run for a minute or so then restart and login into that account again, problem gone you have issues in your normal User Account.

2. Shutdown, then startup while holding the Shift key, hold it until the Apple logo appears, this will result in a safe boot, now login into your normal account, is it gone or not?

I did safe boot, and now it says in the "Sound" in "System Preferences", No Output devices found.

I did safe boot, and now it says in the "Sound" in "System Preferences", No Output devices found.
Then i restarted again but this time without safe boot and all is back to where it was.

Where it was with the same problem?

What about a new account?

Yes Creating new account didn't do anything to the problem, Do you think installing "Mountain Lion" will help?

You could first try to install the original OS on an external disk, like a USB stick (Min. 8 GB) and see if the problems are gone.
But before this you could run Apple Hardware Test and see if any Errors show up.

I installed OSX mountain lion, There is one thing that happened, If i change balance in the output section, right or left i can hear with (almost) no problem but there are no audio when i set it in center.
I ran the test i got no errors.

Is it a 100% clean OS Install or did you use Migration Assistant or TimeMachine to import your data?
I ask this because if it is clean this should not happen, but if you imported your data it might have imported something you installed before, like a plug-in.

No, I just updated it. Does a clean install removes all my current data in the hard disk?
