I think Ubuntu uses apt, so I'm not sure of the command. It should be
something like apt-get remove alsa*. Do a man apt-get to look at the
options. After alsa is removed, be sure there are no asound.state and
asound.conf files in /etc and no .asoundrc file in ~ (your home
directory). To see . files you have to explicitly provide the dot ls .*
Then install the latest alsa version from the repositories using
apt-get again (should be 1.0.14.rc3 or 4). Reboot your system so it
can rediscover the sound card using the new alsa. There are other ways
to do this, but I think this is more straightforward than those.
If this doesn't work (and it might not), post again and I'll try to
help you further.
