It never has worked fine. I run 'aumix', the /dev/mixer is opened fine: horacio@corralito-ng:~$ lsof /dev/mixer COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME mixer_app 859 horacio 34u CHR 14,0 5239 /dev/mixer0 aumix 1869 horacio 3u CHR 14,0 5239 /dev/mixer0 I can change any volume control (for example: "CD"). While I move the control, I can hear the volume goes UP and DOWN, but I can't change the "main" volume, and I can't change the "PCM" volume (this control are on "top"). Something like this happens with "Gnome Volume Control", but with this application, I do can move "Volume" and "PCM" controls of the application, but the volume of the music doesn't chage (this time, I've checked this listeting some mp3 from xmms, mpg123, and totem). My motherboard is a MSI KT6 Delta, with Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.11-rc1. I've tested this with some version of Mandrake (version 10.0 IIRC) and Knoppix, and the same happens with those distros. As you can see, this isn't a "permission" problem. I think this isn't a kernel configuration related problem. The sound card works very well, the problem is the mixer. Thanks in advance!
