I think you probably have a pulseaudio issue.  You could try aplay -Dplughw:0  some.wav

If that doesn't work, go to the link below, download the script, and run it with the --no-upload option.  Then if that 
doesn't enable you to figure out what is wrong by reading the output, reply with the output included in the email.  I 
don't know your card so I can't say for sure what is wrong.
