OPlease check that you have permission to open /dev/mixer
and make sure you have sound support compiled to your kernel

I would recommend that you change the permissions on /dev/mixer back to what they were, and instead add your user to the audio group ("addgroup eric audio"), then log out and back in. I'm confident that this by itself is not sufficient to solve your problems.

What's the output of "lspci"?
And "lsmod"?
