I changed it from "add /dev/mixer desktop noacl" to "add /dev/mixer 
sound noacl" and it's still the same. The x86 box has identical settings 
to the original on the this box, i.e without the addition of that line 
and everything works as normal with /dev/mixer ownerships <user>.audio.
Something has gone crazy, I'm getting the same problem one of the 
Mandriva 2006 x86 boxes as I'm getting on the SuSE 10.0 x86_64. Before 
anyone asks, I haven't been mixing any files between boxes, except for 
the hwcfg-static-1 file mentioned above that cured the module loading 
problem.
In Summary:-
SuSE 10.0 x86 - OK.
SuSE 10.0 x86_64 - PROBLEM.
Mandriva 2006 x86 - PROBLEM
Mandriva 2006 x86 (No.2) - OK.
Regards
Sid.
