[solved]Sound on laptop on both speakers and headphones

Well, I`ve actually solved this problem myself, but I couldn`t find solution on the net, so I want to leave it here for other people, so they won`t have to search.

For unknown reason to me, quite a few people had problem, that their laptop speakers were playing stimulanteously with headphones. I couldn`t find anything on kmix. The problem has a simple solution- write alsamixer in console and change the volume of "Speaker" to 0. I don`t know why, but there`s no option for speaker in the kmix (at least when your headphones are in).  Hope it helps

In alsamixer on my box there's a headphone jack sense item - if I turn it on and plug in the headphones, the speakers will mute themselves.

Well, yeah, but that`s not working on many laptops, especially lenovo, don`t know why. Type that on google, you`ll find many results on different forums
