Yup, if you didn't get a reply on the first try, you can try to repost it
after some days, someone might have missed the earlier post or was too
busy. An earlier post from you mentioned the error message when trying to
start alsamixer, these error messages are great for a google search.

Googling -> "load mixer controls: Invalid argument" ubuntu lucid <- found
among others these bugs:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/613248 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/703464 .
Googling just -> "load mixer controls: Invalid argument" <- shows a lot
of posts with "cannot load mixer controls: Invalid argument" as response
to trying to start ALSAMIXER.
Different solutions are posted, and some even work :)
Good luck!
