Then this must be OK.  Then the remaining possible problems are:

- Device files and permissions.
  Check whether /dev/snd/* files exist and have proper permissions and
  ACL (see "getfacl /dev/snd/*")

- The default ALSA configuration is hijacked, e.g. via pulse plugin.
  Try to remove /etc/asound-pulse.conf if present.
