I compiled and installed ALSA 0.5.12 against a 2.4.17 kernel.  VIA686 
chipset.  Problem is - when I try amixer in order to unmute, I get: 

[Tue Feb 19] edj:~$ amixer set Master 80% unmute
amixer: Mixer 0/0 open error: Invalid argument

No matter what argument I try - amixer groups, etc, same error.  Only ones
that work are --help and --version:

[Tue Feb 19] edj:~$ amixer -v
amixer version 0.5.10 

I followed directions in editing /etc/modules ( I think), and sorry to 
post so much, but if someone could go over the following, I'd appreciate 
it.  Something's misconfigured.  Thanks a lot.
