Couple of questions: did you try removing whatever customizations you have done in ~/.asoundrc? If so, try to move that file elsewhere and see. Do you have more than one sound chip? If you have an embedded sound chip in your motherboard that you are not using for anything try disabling it in your BIOS setup. -- Jesús Guerrero
