Hi.

Make sure you have the ALSA development packages installed (asound-dev 
or asound2-dev or something, I think?). Make sure also to clear out the 
build directory or delete CMakeCache.txt between tries, otherwise cmake 
"remembers" it didn't find ALSA the first time.

If you do have them installed and it's still not finding it with a clean 
cache, please provide the generated CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log.


As an aside: since you're on Ubuntu, unless you've disabled PulseAudio 
you may want to consider making sure the PulseAudio backend gets enabled 
too. If you're not using PulseAudio or don't mind using the 
ALSA->PulseAudio bridge, you don't need to worry about it. But the 
PulseAudio backend with 1.14 and newer does function a bit better when 
using PulseAudio for sound.
