Installing sound card
 

'm trying to get my sound card to work.
Its a midiman audiophile 2496
Ive installed the drivers from the freshrpms site but still get no sound.
When I try to run volume control I get
Unable to open audio device '/dev/mixer'.
Please check that you have permissions to open '/dev/mixer'
and that you have sound support in your kernel.
Any ideas?

If you are logged in as your user account and not root, then you probably dont have permission to use that device. You may try doing adduser user-name audio to see if that works.

I get exactly the same error if I'm logged on as root
