This post is the only one which presumes  "aplay -l" does detect a soundcard:

In this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307320 it is 
suggested that wrong module options _can_ cause the error message you got
about "no soundcards found..." .

(if possible please send messages (at least also) in plain text).

Good luck!
