Hi,

I do not know the actual cause. But some drivers in ubuntu are put to
/lib/modules/kernel_version/ubuntu, the backports package used to put
there alsa drivers too. Installing drivers from git required removing
them from the ubuntu directory, or somehow forcing depmod -a to skip the
directory. I do not remember the details, but you might have a look at that.

Regards,

Pavel.
