@Everyone: I'm happy to say I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!! (sadly no one had the solution, I had to found it all by myself)

The solution was to find my chip on this list: 

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Models.txt

and try one by one the different modules that where available for my chip, (Actually the "stack's correct one" didn't work, so I had to try them all;)To try & solve I had to create this file: "/etc/modprobe.d/snd_hda_intel.conf" and then I had to find this other file: "/etc/modprobe.d/dist-alsa.conf", then I started adding the classic "options snd-hda-intel model=xxxxx" in those two files, restarting for each change of model until my headphones/speakers problem got solved. at the end, Finally it worked with one model (Not the REAL MODEL/brand of the device or even PC, but it worked) and now when I plug headphones, the speakers mute, don't even need to use pavucontrol.

Thanks!


Manuel,
