It's a shell script and it will be most likely not in the K 
menu.

Open a terminal window, type su...

...and enter the root passphrase, then type /sbin/alsaconf.

OTOH, Paul Davis threw in that it's not an ALSA problem but a 
JACK one. Try setting the parameters on the command line or 
in qjackctl as he recommended instead of running alsaconf.

BTW: Never forget the root password! But before you reinstall: 
there are ways to reset the root passphrase...


Best regards
