Have you tried reverting to a vanilla version?

pcm.card0 {
     type hw
     card 0
}
ctl.card0 {
     type hw
     card 0
}

You can put this in .asoundrc : it will override /etc/asound.conf
You will need to do a restart to effect the changes.

sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
( or su -c "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" )
