[Solved] No sound out of M Audio 2496

I have an onboard Intel card and the MAudio card and I just use ALSA.

aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: M2496 [M Audio Audiophile 24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

The Intel card works fine.

The MAudio card, however, does not output any sound at all. The snd_ice1712 module is loaded and when I send a sound file to the device, like so:

aplay -D plughw:1,0 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

I can see the levels in envy24control moving, so I know the card is receiving the signal, but nothing comes out of the speakers.

What I have tried:

Disabling the onboard card in the BIOS
Editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf to make the 2496 load in the first slot
Unmuted all the channels, devices etc in alsamixer and envy24control
My ~/.asoundrc is from the ALSA wiki for this card
Took the card to a neighbours and plugged it into a Windows box and (eventually) got sound out of it..
Read the threads on these boards and searched the web for non-Pulse fixes

I am at a loss. I know the card works, but I can't seem to get a peep out of it.

Is there something obvious that I am missing?

Are the speakers are plugged into the card? (Eric ducks and runs)

Hi Jason, good to see you.

Now, where is that 'Report' button again?

Replaced the VGA plugs. Should have taken them with me up to my neighbours...

Haven't managed to work out how to get dmix working but at least I have sound.
