Trouble with Alsa 0.9.6-5, 2.4.22 AC97 audio and /dev/mixer under Gnome 2.4.0-1
Hi,
In Gnome Volume Control 2.4.0, I try to set the volume, but get
the error
<QUOTE>
Unable to open audio device '/dev/mixer'.
Please check that you have permissions to open 'dev/mixer'
and that you have sound support in your kernel.

Well....
The motherboard is a Shuttle FX41 that has Via KM266/VT8375 N.B.
and VT8235 S.B. that is AC'97 2.2 compliant.
$ dir /dev/mixer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Nov 6 17:24 /dev/mixer -> /dev/mixer0
$ dir /dev/mixer0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 0 Nov 6 17:24 /dev/mixer0
$ grep audio /etc/group
audio:x:29:me
# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
sound 58324 0 (unused)
ac97_codec 13576 0
[snip non-sound stuff]
Anyone have any thoughts? (Besides "Bugger off, snot brain!")

Thanks to the good people in Microsoft, a great deal of the data
that flows is dependent on one company. That is not a healthy
ecosystem. The issue is that creativity gets filtered through the
business plan of one company.
