I have also discovered that kmix appears as a gray window without any sliders
or labels. Alsamixer shows one slider labelled DAC, which will adjust. I also
got an error message with says: Mixer device /dev/mixer is missing volume and
PCM controls.
Gentoo uses devfsd, so I am wondering if I need to set some devices in
devfsd.conf.
Thanks again, John
