Question on audio output

[MarkHaysHarris777]

I haven't yet tried the asound.state update, but I use this shell script to turn on or off my internal speakers when I want to use headphones:

Code:

> cat spkr

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in

off)
   amixer -q set "External Speaker" mute
   ;;
on)
   amixer -q set "External Speaker" unmute
   ;;
*)
   echo "syntax: spkr on|off"
   ;;
esac

quite right !   ... very good;  thanks for posting !
