Error with alsa.conf in Kubuntu

ru flag

I have no audio while using snap applications. Cannot access microphone on apps like Discord, and cannot play anything on spotify. I'm using Kubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Spotify gives me this error while hitting the play button:

ALSA lib conf.c:3916:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib pcm.c:2495:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

I have purged and reinstalled ALSA, and the issue remains the same. Running snap interface alsa gives me this:

name:    alsa
summary: allows access to raw ALSA devices
slots:
  - core

Also running snap connections spotify gives me this:

I have also tried to reinstall spotify non snap version, but there's also this bug that I can't play anything with that and all songs become unplayable without any errors.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
