Make speakers and headphones work together at the same time

Question

It may be a bit strange, but I need speakers work when headphones plugged.

I search the web and find only the issues when both of them work together. My system works fine. When I plug in my headphones speakers are off. But I need to enable them. Is it possible? It would be also cool to know how to roll things back to normal state.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

--update--

Sorry, I forgot to say that I already inspected alsamixer and I see this. I tried to disable Auto-Mute Mode, but with no effect. I also changed the speaker volume, but have same result.

Check alsamixer (type it in command line) settings. You probably just need to unmute in-line. — Rinzwind, Dec 29 '17 at 19:24

2Rinzwind Please, see the question for the answer. 2ravery I want both play same sound. Just playing simultaneously. — 4xy, Dec 29 '17 at 19:33
pulse turns off speakers when headphones are plugged in. You might be able to do what you want with a loopback device to double the output and send one to speaker and one to headphones. Unfortunately I can't give specifics on how to do it. If the switching is done by the sound card itself, you may not be able to. — ravery, Dec 29 '17 at 19:38
Does this answer your question? Play sound through two or more outputs/devices — cipricus, Dec 23 '20 at 11:34

Thank you for your time everybody, playing farther I eventually noticed MM sign below the volume bar. It means muted. It's changed via m button. Speaker volume and auto mute must be also properly setup.
