In my configuration, at least, there are options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf that prevent USB sound cards from being recognized as card 0.

Starting from the basics would help, too: see if aplay -l lists the card (it should be listed as card 0 if it's the only one). After that, move on to amixer settings.
