Otherwise, the following error occurs when using alsamixer (or amixer) from the command line: ALSA lib confmisc.c:1107:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'defaults.ctl.card' ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:242:(snd_func_getenv) error evaluating default ALSA lib conf.c:3493:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_getenv returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3962:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib control.c:817:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
