You must be root to run it.

Reboot, and at the boot prompt, enter "linux 3".  N.B. that works for
LILO; don't know about GRUB.

Alternatively, edit /etc/inittab, and find the line that says

 id:5:initdefault:

Change the "5" to "3":

 id:3:initdefault:

Then, reboot.

You don't want to remove permissions; you want to change them:

 chmod 666 /dev/mixer

Don't know about that one.
