Hi Vincent.

You don't have to uninstall alsa lib to upgrade the alsa driver. First 
reinstall the alsa-lib package, reboot, or restart alsa, and see if it's 
working now.

Post the output of cat /proc/asound/version, which will verify if the alsa 
driver is now the latest version (1.0.18a)

I also have an Archlinux install (Don't Panic). My hda intel card works ok 
with the 1.0.17 alsa driver. (ALC662 codec).

All the best.

Nigel.
