Simultaneous sound through both speaker and headphones

I installed Fedora a few days back.
I had the same problem of "speaker not muting when headphone plugged in"
I used the following line:
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop position_fix=1
I had used this to fix the issue with OpenSuSE last month.

But somehow it didn't work. I kept looking and looking.
Then http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9405102 pointed out that I was looking in the wrong place.
I went to System -> Prefernces -> Sound -> Output
And selected "Analog Headphones" instead of "Analog Output"
And it worked.
Thanks to everyone who posted there. :)
