It sounds somewhat peculiar to me that you have to configure a separate
card for amixer but not for the player.  Which EMMS player are you
using?  Do you have PulseAudio or some other sound server running?

(I don't object using the -c parameter with amixer: if it works for you
then it's fine, of course.  But I would like to understand what is
causing the issue.)
