@Kim, one solution would be installing a newer kernel (precise has backported 3.5.x quantal kernel in the repo), since ALSA userspace is already version 1.0.25
Since you are using a HDA device, another solution would be using David Henningsson's PPA: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS
