alsamixer should be usable without running it as root, your normal user should be in group audio. If you aren't sure that audio is working, that should be your first priority before worrying about mixers. Find out what kind of sound card you have (lspci could be a start), if it's supported, install and configure alsa, etc. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
