Hi Peter. Have you installed the libncurses-dev package I mentioned was 
necessary for the alsa-utils to build properly?

I know it's required for alsamixer, and perhaps alsaconf needs it too.

I took no notice of the instructions in the "Install" file, and followed the 
usual:
./configure
make
sudo make install

Note sure about that. It's a while since I installed Kubuntu, and can't 
remember what basic development packages were installed as part of the 
Kubuntu install. Before I upgraded the alsa driver, I installed the following 
packages:
kernel headers for the kernel (presuming the running kernel) that you are 
upgrading the alsa driver against.
kernel-package
build essential  (may be a hyphen between build, and essential)

Then just cd'd to the alsa driver directory (which was in my /home/user 
directory), and did the same as for alsa-lib, and alsa-utils.
./configure
make
sudo make install

All the best.

Nigel.
