Did you first remove the # from in front of any lines in the script with 
'mixer'?

ls -l /dev/mixer*

Is there no file by that name?  Did you try Christof's package which 
includes device files?

Maybe this is another bug?
I will try BL3 sound as soon as the new version is posted.

I stopped downloading new versions after the first three since I had made
