Bug Description

Error opening "tvtime"

$ Sudo tvtime

  Can not open device / dev / mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.

Makes it sound dumb

PS: When I turn the speaker on direct tv is no sound card, more when I turn on the TV card output to microphone input no sound

Erro ao abrir "Tvtime"

$ sudo tvtime

  Can't open device /dev/mixer, mixer volume and mute unavailable.

Faz com que o som fique mudo

OBS:Quando ligo a caixa de som direto na placa de tv sai som, mais quando ligo a saida da placa de tv à entrada do microfone não sai som

O que eu poderia fazer pra resolver isso?

This annoys me too. It has been decided to stop support for alsa OSS-emulation from within the kernel without offering a viable alternative for exactly this application.
Read this: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+question/121773

As an unsatisfying work around you can change the sound-volume with e.g. alsamixer (from alsa-utils). Therein you can tune the volume of 'line' or 'cd', depending where you connected the sound-output of your tv-card but changing sound volume from within tvtime is broken!
The best way to solve this is one adds direct alsa-support to tvtime. Until that happens, I hope the ubuntu devs and sound engineers will reconsider their decision to completely terminate alsa-oss emulation since OSSp (thought/intended as successor) does not (yet) work for this kind of hardware-constalation.
