You could try using the pulseaudio driver, but this requires a little 
setting up. Firstly, make sure you have speakers and a microphone 
connected to your PC (pulseaudio will not be able to function unless you 
have input and output devices connected). Then set up some permissions:

     chown -R "username" "/home/username"
     chmod 755 "/home/username"
     rm -rf /tmp/pulse* ~/.pulse-cookie ~/.config/pulse

where 'username' is your user name. You will only have to do the above 
once. Then play your sound file:

     export AUDIODRIVER=pulseaudio
     play ding.wav

And prepare to be dinged unto. When you've finished playing sounds, kill 
the pulseaudio server:

     pulseaudio -k

This assumes that 'play' will start the pulseaudio server for you. If 
you get errors from the 'play' command, try starting the pulseaudio 
server manually:

     start-pulseaudio-x11

I know very little about pulseaudio, but the above works for me. If you 
still don't have any joy then you'll have to fall back to your VB wav 
player.

Cheers,

Dave.
