Sound problem on Lenovo g500s.

Hello every1, this is my first post so dont go rough on me
I've installed arch on a lenovo g500s. Configuration was quite tough, especially at making bumblebee work. Although when I wanted to listen to some music from headphones, for some reason not only the sound was low, but also both the speakers and the headphones were playing. I also noticed that an instance while being plugged the sound on headphones was normal but after went faint. I searched the wiki, (alsa installed) and the net in general, but the only possible solution was for Ubuntu, while being possible it didnt work on me.
I suppose its a driver problem ~ the laptop has some dolby advanced audio thingy although i supposed there would be nothing special about it.
TYIA.

BTW, the above "solution" was disabling laptop speaker audio and making it somehow play sound only from headphones. (although i am not sure if it would fix the low-level sound problem) My headphones are not broken,so thats not their prob, and also using standard audio jack.

Nevermind, it just needed to have speakers muted. Solved.

Go to your first post of this thread, and edit the subject line to put [SOLVED] at the start of the topic line.
