You can also use 'mixer -f /dev/mixer1' for testing.  On my system
/dev/mixer1 (default_unit=1) controls the back panel jacks, and
/dev/mixer2 controls the front panel headphone jack.  You will probably
have to just experiment with the different mixer controls to see which
controls which on your system.
