    Status: Open => Answered

Sam proposed the following answer:
Ray, 
seems the file name has changed in Jaunty. (I'm on Hardy)
According to some search it's:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

To verify, you may check the path via Nautilus or terminal.
This will show you the content of the folder:
ls -al /etc/modprobe.d/

If you've found an alsa-base.conf, then just repeat mentioned steps with this one.
sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.backup
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

> gedit window has a tab named alsa-base but is otherwise completely blank.
##and yes, if a file doesn't exist it will be created, just skip it.

btw. here is someone with ALC268 [unsolved]

>Do I really need to use Pulse-audio at all.

Ray, ALSA is default, pulseaudio needs ALSA, not the other way around.

> What about if I uninstall both Pulse and Skype and use Ekiga instead?

Ray, it's about freedom of choice and whatever suits your comfort. 
You may try all options which come to your mind, everything can be removed, reinstalled, configured ...

Ekiga
