There is no relation between alsamixer and the Xserver. But hey, maybe you put a shortcut to <F6>? Hit <F6> without starting alsamixer and test your mouse. Else you can change to a vt with <ctrl><alt><F1> login and start alsamixer. Does it work like you want to? > If this problem were more universal, I imagine there would be lots of > complaints.
