I am using a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra. When I run 'alsamixer' it first
list that my Logitech webcam is default. I change it to "Fast Track
Ultra" which is number 1 in the list, and, then it says:
"This sound device does not have any playback controls."
Any help in figuring this out is much appreciated.

Both are USB devices. To configure which one is the default device,
use the appropriate configuration tool of your distribution.
"This sound device does not have any playback
controls."

This message is trying to tell you that alsamixer did not find any
playback controls for this device. The reason for this might be that
your device actually does not have any playback controls.
This is common with USB devices; you have to use the hardware controls
of the device itself.
(Does the Fast Track Ultra actually run with Linux?)
Best regards,

I do not understand? How could alsamixer not require
playback
controls? Would you mind explaining further?

Thanks for the help. Well I would wonder if it runs with Linux also?
That would be the first step it seems.
I think I will wait before I start trying to use alphanumeric names.
Thanks.

Alsamixer accesses the hardware mixer of the soundcards/-devices. And most
USB-devices don't have a hardware mixer. At least it is not accessible via
software, just via the "hands on" hardware access :-)
Which is actually a good thing because its one place less where the volume set
to zero/mute gives you endless fights of getting sound of the speakers...
Have fun,

My Zoom H2 when used as a USB devices introduces 0 controls, but I can
monitor from it and record. I'm still not able to fix the latency issue I'm
having there, or the fact that I hear the clean signal (going in to the
computer) together with the processed one which is coming out from JACK. I
just gave up because it wasn't my intention to make it do anything, just
curious to see how it worked.

I would see what happens if you use alphanumeric names:
