Interesting! The amixer reports:<br>

So, it would appear that I do in fact have a PCM control, and that
should've worked. So I backed up a bit and set the thing up for "mixer
controls PCM" again. Here's what came out (after restarting the
software):<br>

Still trying to find control "Master" ... which does not appear in my
mixer controls. PCM does, but Master does not. Strange not to have
any Master level control, I would think. But that may be another issue
for later. (or not...)<br>
<br>
Anyway, my question has now morphed into "Can you use PCM control
without having a Master control, too." Because if the answer is NO, I
am still hosed and that explains the error message "mixer unable to
find control Master". Back to the script solution in that case.<br>
<br>
Since my motherboard is new, and based on NVidia NForce430, I would
expect that a lot of people would be having this same kind of
problem. But this does not appear to be true (is it?). So I am still
expecting to find that I have misconfigured something along the way.<br>
<br>
Does the presence of PCM (and not Master) shed any new light on the
situation?<br>

So, you need to use a script like the one in the post I linked to
(probably just use that one and customize as described in the
comments). You can find out what controls are available with:
amixer scontrols
