gnome-volume-control "Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"
 
Hi,

I am using Linux Debian. The sound is working correctly inside applications like XMMS and totem movie player.

But I can't control the volume with the gnome-volume-control applet.
When I move the cursor to change the volume, it always goes back down to zero.
When I open the gnome-volume-control, I get the error message:
"Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"

I have already run alsaconf several times, but it doesn't change anything.
