I'm thinking that this may be a gmix bug as ANY other mixer I try works (so I've just switched to using aumix-gtk). However, it's probably a kernel bug also since now "cat
/dev/sndstat" no longer returns anything. I'm assuming (though I haven't looked at the source) that gmix checks sndstat to see what card(s) you have while other mixers just attempt to open/dev/mixer. gmix's solution is actually better since it lets it handle multiple soundcards/mixers, so ignore my first statement. This is a kernel bug.
Are you sure of that? I have another box that works fine, including gmix. However, cat /dev/sndstat give me the no such device error.

This sounds as if it is a known problem. I just installed a Progeny box for my wife and recompiled a kernel for her box. There is sound support, but gmix won't work. It says "no mixers found". However, the gnome panel applet for volume will work just fine.
What do I need to do to take care of this?
