This is the script I use [1]. As you can see I cannot put this into any 
static configuration as mixerctl
requires diffent input for internal speakers and for headphones.
Not to mention the fact that it's not an optional way of adjusting the 
sound level of my azalia device...


#!/bin/sh

case ${1} in
       s)
       mixerctl -w outputs.lineout.eapd=on
       mixerctl -w outputs.lineout=200,200
   ;;
       h)
       mixerctl -w  outputs.lineout.eapd=on
       mixerctl -w outputs.headphones=255,255
       mixerctl -w outputs.lineout=0,0
   ;;
       "")
               echo "Please use one of following: h(eadphones)  or 
s(peakers)"
esac
