this one has me puzzled completely....
everything's perfect and everything's fine.... as root.
i have tried EVERYTHING to make it work as user....
added him to group audio, checked if /dev/snd/* is owned by root:audio ....
anyway i'm at a loss here (which is why i eventually tried if it works as root.... and it does) |

| What happens if you try running alsamixer as the unprivileged user? |

From http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml:
| Quote: | | Important: If you have issues starting up alsamixer and get errors such as alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory, this is usually an issue with udev setting up the devices. Run killall udevd; udevstart to reload /dev entries and fire up alsamixer. It should solve the issue. |

Are you 100% sure you are in the audio group? (check with groups)
