Accessed as 0 and 1 respectively when running alsamixer -c X Card: VIA 8235 Chip: VIA Technologies VIA1612A Card: CA0106 Chip: <The chipset doesn't show up but it's a Soundblaster Audigy Live> After compiling and installing xfce4-4.2.3.2 the xfce4-mixer app will not launch from the Settings Panel and neither from the command line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open xterm 2. xfce4-mixer 3. Actual Results: Segmentation Fault When trying to launch the mixer from the panel it sometimes kills the panel and remove the theming. This error message occurs when running strace /usr/local/bin/xfce4-mixer xfce4-mixer: simple.c:174: snd_mixer_selem_get_name: Assertion `(elem)->type == SND_MIXER_ELEM_SIMPLE' failed. Appears that when running alsamixer without explicitly defining the card you get No mixer elems found, I need to run alsamixer with the -c <card number> option to get it to choose a sound card. I am thinking that the xfce4-mixer is launching expecting a default card and when it doesn't find one it's seg faulting.
a backtrace please
