Re: [Freevo-users] Problems with /dev/mixer

[Mick <ema...@bi...>]

Firstly,

Keep these types of questions on the user list,

Secondly,

Looks like you have an issue with /dev/mixer, not freevo..

Try the mplayer command on its own, does it work?  Do you use alsa or
oss?  Try aumixer or alsamixer to see is th mixer exists..
