Installed alsa-utils when amixer was missing using this command sudo apt-get alsa-utils

Currently on using command amixer controls this is the output

numid=3, iface-MIXER, name='Master Playback Volume' 
numid=2,iface-MIXER, name='Capture Switch'
numid=1, iface-MIXER, name='Capture Volume'

Expected. https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/measure.html describes the app. You need audio input to use Measure.

Your amixer controls shows you do not have a microphone or any audio input to which Measure would bind. This is an opportunity to fix the app so that it detects this scenario and gives a helpful message before exiting.

Thankyou , Implementing a feature to detect the absence of a microphone and providing a helpful message will definitely enhance the user experience.
