I was able to use aumix with my root login. But as a normal user, aumix says "error opening mixer"
SameerDS.
According to my experience the first user to login on the system gets control of audio device. At least this is the case with Red Hat system, I don't know about other distributions. I have two user names "rajen" and "raj" on my system. After the system boots up, if I login as "rajen" first then "rajen" has the control on audio device and "raj" cannot open aumix. So, "raj" gets the message "error opening mixer". Of course, root can do anything.
HTH, Rajen.
