The alsa configuration should handle this for you, but in case it
doesn't, you'll want to use "modconf". It's a curses-based GUI that lets
you load and unload modules and saves that information across reboots.

As for alsamixer, you'll have to manually set the best settings for your
particular setup. The good news is that, the next time you reboot those
settings will be saved so you should never need to do it again.

If you're using gnome, you may want to take a look at gnome-alsamixer
for changing volume levels. It's basically the same thing as alsamixer,
except done in GTK so it looks much nicer.
