Hi

I have just done a clean install from mythbuntu 8.10 to mythbuntu 9.04

and I am having problems trying to get my terratec Aureon USB sound card to work. originaly I had problems in ubuntu 8.10 but got it to work. the problem is I dont know how I did it.

Now I'm having to same problems again.

And if I open alsamixer I get this error message "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such file or directory"

I have followed the ubuntu
Comprehensive Sound Problem Solutions Guide v0.5e

but no luck sorting the problem yet.

this is the infomation I have.

and

But still no audio and the sound mixers still crashes with this error.

"alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such file or directory"

Please can someone help.
