[SOLVED]No audio output through speakers

I've gone through many posts but had little luck. I am on an old x86 laptop with pulseaudio installed. I can hear fine through headphones but not through speakers. Someone in another post told about switching to the LTS kernel, but I hadn't had any audio either with LTS kernel on Linux Mint some time ago.

Here's the output of 

lspci -v | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller

Here's the output of

Re: [SOLVED]No audio output through speakers

Was that with your headphones unplugged? What is your actual end goal? Do you want to be able to use both at the same time? To simply get them working you could unmute the PCM and/or disable auto mute 

amixer -c0 set 'Auto-Mute Mode' 'Disabled'
amixer -c0 'Speaker' unmute
#To force pulse, if it doesn't switch automatically
pacmd set-sink-port alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo analog-output-speaker

Re: [SOLVED]No audio output through speakers

Oh, I'm extremely sorry for that previous reply. I stupidly posted the output with headphones plugged in. My problem actually is that there's no output through speakers at all. Here's the required output:

Re: [SOLVED]No audio output through speakers

Thanks a lot, everyone! Fortunately I solved the issue with the help of a user from #archlinux IRC. The problem actually was that my headphone jack was physically stuck in a plugged in state. I had to make arch believe that it's not by overriding it to a "Not Connected state"  using 

hdajackretask

in 

alsa-tools

. Here is a screenshot. Thanks again for V1del's help.

Re: [SOLVED]No audio output through speakers

Unbelievable, just had the same problem after someone plugged some headphones in the front port and couldn't figure out what was going on. Seems that might be the issue, thanks for the solution!
