amixer alsamixer I don't have a mixer


I think I have alsa insalled properly, but I need just a little help to get going. Here's what I have:

I ran snddevices and got this :

(I know this is alot of crap, but here's my point)

Now! When I run amixer I get this :

# amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory

I run alsamixer and get this:

# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

What have I done wrong? Or haven't done? I know alot of people have gotten the alsa drivers to work on their machine, but I can't get it right. When I googled, I kept getting answers like run the snddevices script, did you run the snddevices script, have you tried the snddevices script and so forth. Please help! Thanks a million .

Oh, and my modconf looks like this:

alias net-pf-4 off # we won't use PF IPX
alias net-pf-5 off # we won't use PF AppleTalk
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 natsemi

oh, and I don't know if this matters or not, but KDE's kMix (like all the other KDE multimedia apps) just fakes about loading, then disappears off into the pool of dead apps.

Ok, forget about this, I have another comp with Mandrake. Same problem except I have devfs and it's an Intel AC'97 on-board card.

Try aumix, or gmix

Just open an Xterm and type it in
