So I don't think this is your problem. run aplay -lLv to see if there are any sound cards recognized and if alsa has defined any aliases. Then run aplay -D hw:0,0 some.wav if there is at least one sound card. If this works, you have a configuration/cabling issue. Check that the sound card you played is the one with speakers. Then use an application like xmms to change the sound to the appropriate driver and play a song. If you have no sound cards, it is possible that the sound is not supported by alsa or it is turned off in the bios.
