Thank your for all your help, although so far I haven't got any positive result. I did all of the above - replacing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf with the single line and then rebooting. Yet when I enter 'aplay -l' I still get: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: ALC3227 Analog [ALC3227 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 which is exactly the same output as I had before. As I understand it, this means that the required sound card is hw:1,0. As well as booting into Ubuntu with low latency, I also tried rebooting and choosing the grub menu option with normal latency, to see if this made any difference, but it didn't.
