I noticed this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517726)
from 2010. I downloaded a sample .wav file from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAV and ran this:

 sudo aplay -Dplughw:0,0 -fcd Downloads/sample.wav

It works! I can change the -Dplughw argument and play on both my
motherboards rear output and through the USB stick. So there's something
being lost in how pulseaudio interacts with this, I think.

Title:
  [OEM, Realtek ALC892, Green Line Out, Rear] No sound at all

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm unable to play any sounds. I've tried a few sound methods.

    - The builtin realtek ALC892 on the motherboard (used for filing
  this bug) via both the rear port and the front headphone port

    - Buying a cheap usb stick with some internet reviews that it works
  on linux
  (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSS6CS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage)

    - A displayport monitor with a sound out.

  All three methods work on a Windows install on the same machine.

  alsamixer sees all the cards and lets me adjust volumes, but I can't
  get any sound to actually play.

  From the sound configuration interface within Gnome I do get a weird
  bug. See the screencast; I try to switch to line out and test the
  speakers but the popup window title reflects another card.
