OK; my  /proc/asound/cards file reads:

 0 [NVidia  ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
               HDA NVidia at 0xfe024000 irq 21
 1 [AF      ]: USB-Audio - VF0560 Live! Cam Optia AF
               Creative Labs VF0560 Live! Cam Optia AF at usb-0000:00:02.1-3, high speed
 2 [M2496   ]: ICE1712 - M Audio Audiophile 24/96
               M Audio Audiophile 24/96 at 0xac00, irq 16

have you tried

      aplay -D hw:M2496 /path/to/an/actual/wav/file/on/your/system.wav

(changing the file name appropriately, of course)?

the problem is that you may *also* need to play with the h/w mixer settings. envy24control is a better program for that with the 2496 than any of the standard generic mixer tools (and it has meters too).
