Why do you need /etc/asound.names?
Is sound working properly?
Do you have customized asoundrc's?

Please provide the output of:
$ ls -al /dev/snd
witch has to look like:

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116,  0 Oct 19 21:25 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 32 Oct 19 21:25 controlC1

crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 50 Oct 19 21:25 pcmC1D2p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Oct 19 21:25 timer


As told before: Not reproducible :(
