The relevant part seems to be open
("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(2, "amixer: ", 8amixer: ) = 8
write(2, "Mixer attach default error: No s"..., 53Mixer attach default
error: No such file or directory) = 53
And none of those files appear to exist, what are they and where do I get them?
The most frustrating bit was this was working a few weeks (it may even
have been a week) ago with no problems, then I reinstalled and now it
decided it doesn't like me :P
