Hi enoch

Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory

I think that means you are trying to play through  card2  and it does not exist or can't be found.
Googling   ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
turned up:

See which cards are listed in  /proc/asound  and try setting up a  .asoundrc  in your home directory. Then restart alsa.
