alsa modules loaded but alsamixer won't work

[Christopher Ness]

Hey Bert!

I also had some problems with the alsamixer in that I could not change
the volume with the applet icon on my panel.

Funny thing was I upgraded from my 2.6.2 kernel to 2.6.4 trying to get
the Cisco VPN client to play nice (that didn't work by the way) and now
I get alsamixer running just fine now.  
I can't really explain what happened.

It is weird, the only thing I changed before recompiling the new kernel
was modifying `/etc/modprobe.conf.dist`

alias char-major-14-* soundcore

I added the -* to this line and it seems to work.  I got that tip from
this list too.

Cheers,
Chris
