*Yes I have but for some reason, it does not bring up the GUI showing 
the levels of the mic, speakers etc...All I get is a command prompt saying*
cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument...*I have allways used 
alsamixer but now it does not come up in the gui fashion as it has done 
before...?

Thanks for the reply...
