I receive the same error message from amixer and the other ALSA tools: $ amixer ALSA lib control.c:601:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

Aborted Seems like there is a common theme here. Some details about my system: ALSA 0.9.0rc1 Red Hat 7.2/kernel 2.4.9-31 SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 from /etc/modules.conf: options snd snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=502 snd_device_uid=0 (where 502 is my "audio" group, and my current user is a member of this group) I ran ./snddevices, and it completed successfully. I verified that the owner/permissions in /proc/asound/dev match those specified in /etc/modules.conf. One more thing: when I run any of the programs listed above as "root", they work perfectly fine.
