If you would like to build the latest version of ALSA from source, here are some scripts to do that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=820959

I'm not sure if that will fix the problem.

You can also try OSS4.

well i am pretty noob on alsa and sound system because i really i have not time but on this week end i have lost my data partiton :'( so i have reinstalled every damned thing (of course i know foremost and photorec and testdisk) and now i have solved :



I have written here about what i do to increase my mic volume

http://fuocotools.byethost13.com/index.php?topic=149.0

anyway i leave here a copy:


first it's very important sox library so

sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-all

then open a terminal and type

kdesudo systemsettings

--->Sound System
------>Hardware
-------->Select Device (remember the default should be Autodetect)
--------->Opend Sound System

close

open kmix
------>Settings
------->Configure KMix
-------->set un-checkek Restore Volumes on log in

----------> Now set your volumes on kmix

kdesudo systemsettings

--->Sound System
------>Hardware
-------->Select Device
--------->Set Autedetect or what you had before

close
now everythings works in my computer , but you could see this

et voila' every silly things are working now :

no alsa recompiling stuff
no oss4 compiling stuff


... pretty simple...xD shame i didnt discover that before
