+==== Save and Restore different sound settings  ====
+Don't frighten you do not need to memorize all the above settings.
+If you select the settings in alsamixer according to your needs type on the command line:
+<code>
+# alsactl store -f <name>
+</code
+e.g.
+<code>
+# alsactl store -f headphones.state
+</code>
+Now, if you want to switch over to your headphone settings next time simply type
+<code>
+alsactl restore -f headphones.state
+</code>
+Hence, you can save settings for internal speakers, headphones, mute all, etc.
+If you do not want to type all the above to restore just create a little shell script (name it e.g. setsound.sh) to do that for you.
+<code>
+#!/bin/sh
+# Set alsa sound to a predefined state
+# save state via
+# alsactl store -f <name>.state
+# call this this by
+# ./setsound headphones
+alsactl restore -f {$1}.state
+</code>
+make the file executable
+<code>
+# chmod +x ./setsound.sh
+</code>
+now you can set sound settings by simply typing
+<code>
+# ./setsound.sh headphone
+</code>
