Headphone and Speaker both works together in 12.10

Question

This is the most common problem. My headphone and speakers working at the same time. I need an option to switch between my headphone and speakers or at least mute speakers when I plug the headphone.

Card: HDA Intel Chip: Realtek ALC268

I tried lots of solution for the past 2 days. Nothing worked. Please help.

In your terminal run alsamixer. Once in alsamixer use the left and right arrows to navigate to the speaker or headphone and reduce the volumes appropriately.
