yes should be ok if you are in the audio group.

did you log in again after adding yourself to the audio goup?

try the id command to check

then try the strace command to see if you can figure out what is going

strace amixer

(produces a lot of output, but generally the stuff near the bottom, just
before the failure point, is what you want to see.)
