Ah, that looks as if the default device is set to use the "pulse"
plugin then. If your distribution did that system-whide,
your /etc/asound.conf might contain something like
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
type pulse
}
(or maybe they put a .asoundrc in /etc/skel, then you should have it in
~/.asoundrc)
So try commenting it out, paulseaudio -k, and aplay again.
"cat /proc/asound/cards" shows the current order of your devices, so
aplay -Dhw:0 == card 0
aplay -Dhw:1 == card 1
etc..
To test audio
w/o pulseaudio, you can take some wave file and run
pasuspender aplay foo.wav
This gets me dead silence, both from the speakers plugged into the
Audigy2, and from a phone type headset plugged into the 'lime' jack
called front speakers on the motherboard.
No errors reported:
[root@coyote cards]# pasuspender
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Playing WAVE
'/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
or just kill it: pulseaudio -k
Which gets me this error now:
[root@coyote cards]# pulseaudio -k
[root@coyote cards]# aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
*** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused
aplay: main:564: audio open error: Connection refused I restarted PA, it bitched about being run as root,
and re-ran your
sample with and without the pasuspender prefix, no errors reported
and pavumeter watching the simultainious output was as silent as the
rest of the room.
Those HDMI jacks contain both, audio and video signal output.

The ATI device in your lspci output could be the
HDMI audio out.
Try to run "update-pciids" as root, maybe lspci shows a correct
description then (instead of unknown device)
Only partially, now it says:
=====
03:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 audio device [Radeon
HD 2400 PRO]
Subsystem: Diamond Multimedia Systems Unknown device aa10
[...]
=======
But this card does not, to my knowledge have any audio output
facilities unless it is part of the digital connection to the
monitor, a Samsung BW-205, and there are no audio jacks in evidence
on it either.
