I would recommend that you change the permissions on /dev/mixer back to 
what they were, and instead add your user to the audio group ("addgroup 
eric audio"), then log out and back in. I'm confident that this by 
itself is not sufficient to solve your problems.

What's the output of "lspci"?
And "lsmod"?
