/proc/asound/cards and all files/directories in /proc/asound
You should not copy files between machines if you dont check what they
have before you copy.
You should manually change files, or at least save a copy of old one
before overwriting.
Good luck

I didn't touch the /proc folder, I only copied my home folder and changed a few lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to make compiz work.

n't write to /proc ???
You can't, as it it is built from OS and ALSA drivers.
Joe, are your user in the audio group? Try command 'groups' and see
if you have audio there.
If not, try 'addgroup user audio', where user is your account name.
Good luck.

I've got similar problems.
alsaconf
alsactl store
I've got to run those two commands as root every time I restart my
computer. I have no idea why, but it sounds like it could help you.

Try to run alamixer from terminal.
You also might need as root run 'dpkg-reconfigure -plow alsa' or some
other alsa-package. Not at my computer right now, so I cant check.
This will reconfigure your package. So you can tell other answers to
pages.
