You have both a soundcard on your motherboard (Realtek ALC888) and a USB
soundcard. Which one are you using for record and playback?

Also your USB soundcard has the name "default"...could that be
interfering with something? Can you please open a terminal (Program menu
-> Accessories -> Terminal), enter this command "apport-collect 512612"
(without the quotes) and press Enter. Thanks!

As for your question about sound systems, in the standard configration
ALSA is a low-level sound driver and PulseAudio is a sound server which,
among other things, mixes sound from all apps together and gives the
result to ALSA which then talks to your soundcard. OSS is not used at
all (in the standard Ubuntu configration).

This is a simplification, in reality there are many parts of ALSA, among
these there is a frontend for applications to talk to. This frontend can
send things via PulseAudio, and should be configured to do so by
default. If you think that was complicated, have a look at slide five of
this presentation: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~dtchen/UDS-
Barcelona/Audio_Madness.odp
