The "PCM Playback Volume" is a hardware volume control for those AC97 codec
( the name is "Wave" in Windows )

The "PCM Playback Volume" is most likely softvol on HDA Intel since it is
defined in HDA-Intel.conf

AFAIK, aplay has an option to disable softvol by using SND_PCM_NO_SOFTVOL

   --disable-softvol   disable software volume control (softvol)
