I had the same problem .. I think at least ..;-) and it was a permission problem. Here comes what I had to do to make it work: 1. Set the group of the mixer devices to "audio" (chown root.audio /dev/mixer*) 2. Make sure that your user Id is a member of group "audio" (adduser <your user-id> audio) 3. Make your mixer devices write enabled for groups ( chmod g+w /dev/mixer*) This allowed me then to run Gnome "gmix" as a normal user. Hope this helps
