[SOLVED]For sound from speakers pulseaudio O/P port must be Headphones

Hi all.

I recently installed Arch linux with LXDE. While installing LXDE I installed nearly all optional dependencies. There was pulseaudio too. I decided to use it as default volume manager. In this respect I installed pavucontrol But after logging in to my PC today I saw volume muted. Then I unmuted it and tried to play an mp3 song from audacious. But there was no sound through speakers. I started pavucontrol and went to Output Devices section. There Port was set to Line Out (Plugged in) and when I changed it to Headphone sound started coming out from speakers again. i want this to use Line Out port for my Speakers.

Previously when I used ALSA, I saw by running  alsamixer that Headphones was muted and I had to unmute it to get sound.

I have a single speaker which has a Green and Red jack. I've connected the Green jack to the Green port on the rear of my PC. I have not connected the RED jack

Can anyone please help me solve the problem?

Thanks, but I think the green coloured port is for Headphone/Speaker so when I select Headphones I'm actually selcting device connected to the green port.
