Possible bad install of alsamixer utility
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Kernel version: 2.6.35.14 running (embedded) on an ARM MCIMX51. The system is rather outdated and old (ASoC). I am getting odd behavior with sound. I already defaulted asound config file (asound.play) with alsactl init and have managed to play some tone files I found (works). The speaker-test application runs but is not producing any sound (with no errors). A card is registered and things seem to be in order:
aplay -l:
card 0: ccwmx51p51 [ccwmx51p51], devie 0: WM8750 WM8750-0
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I wanted to use the alsamixer utility I found @ /usr/bin to see if it might be muted:
alsamixer
Running that command results in an error:
Error opening terminal: vt100.
I tried to Google that error but no luck (with respect to alsamixer or audio). Could someone explain what an error like this means, in general?

@CL I see your point (edited post to reflect that) but my question still remains. Shouldn't running alsamixer open up a user interface where I can toggle a mute/unmute function instead of producing an error message?

Yes, it should. But Google tells me your terminfo is not installed correctly.
