Alsamixer: Headphone volume controls Speaker volume in Laptop

Hello!

I have a laptop which has a single integrated speaker and headphone out. The problem is, when I'm using pulseaudio speaker is not working while headphone works fine. I used alsamixer to figure out what is wrong. When I increase headphone volume or change the output to headphone in pavucontrol, the speaker sound works.

The speakers volume in alsa doesn't seems to work in any way, and pulse mute headphones(that controls both headphones and speakers) and raise speakers that, as a said, doesn't work.

How can I fix that?

I think you should install pulseaudio-alsa to control pulseaudio volume using alsamixer.
