Summary 0005104: Alsamixer always fails with alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Description I am working with an ARM processor on the at91SAM9260-ek board and am trying to get sound to work. I've looked at all the information on the web that I can find and while I find references to this issue, I have tried all of the patches and remedies to no avail. Alsa-lib is version 1.0.16 and alsa-utils is version 1.0.16. Have tried different versions with no effect as well as the alsa-lib-util patch from this site with no effect either. Maybe I am doing something dumb? If so, please point me in a direction but this appears to be a bug.

Incidentally, no other alsa utils work any better.

Thanks,
Jason

Additional Information I am very new at working in embedded linux so the likelihood that I am doing something wrong is very high :-). I have been a linux user for years but not a developer.

 http://busybox.net/bugs/view.php?id=4014 [^]
alsa-lib-util.patch still enables aapcs-linux for non-eabi builds.

This is fixed in the attached files alsa-lib.mk, alsa-utils.mk
Just copy them to the correct locations.
