I'm tellin' ya. alsamixer is jsut a gui for amixer and amixer does not work for every Alsa supported card. You need to find out from the Alsa folks what is the supported mixer for this card. If you have only one sound card in your system then running amixer is sufficient. -c is the option to tell it card 0,1,... when you have more than one card. I expect form the link I posted a while back that you need Alsa-1.10.xxx to support this device.... - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
