I wouldn't worry, looks like an option you aren't interested in. > At the end it "fails" with: > amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device > It doesn't actually say it failed, since right afterward I see "Now ALSA > is ready to use."

Look under /proc/asound instead. But it doesn't look like a permission problem. Can you run alsamixer (with the appropriate -c option to select your cards)? Try aplay as well (use -l to list your devices). -- Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
