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 relevant output is really what this command says:
cat /proc/asound/cards
the complication is that some devices have multiple PCM devices on a single
card. then it gets a bit more complex. but in the common case, the "one to
pick" is hw:CARDNAME (as described here:
http://jackaudio.org/device_naming
OK; my /proc/asound/cards file reads:

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).
So it does. The tabs on envy24control read:
Monitor Inputs
Monitor PCMs (all eight channels up all the way)
Patchbay/Router
Hardware Settings
Analog Volume (up all the way)
Profiles
Anything you suggest I play with? Thanks!
