 Could you paste the .asoundrc you have?

For eg., mine is standard because I don't use the plugin when I'm using
external interface:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
 0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
 capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
 }
}

ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}

And also ensure that the plugin exists:

~$ locate libasound_module_pcm_jack.so
