I am using the 2020-05 raspbian image and have headphones plugged-in to the raspberry pi 3b+.
Following this tutorial, I tried to test my sound with aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* and heard "Front Center" with the following output
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

If you are able to hear the sounds like “Front Center”,”Front Left”, “Front Right” and so on, your sound is working!
What may be causing this error? I can pay each file by itself.
I moved to the next step and installed espeak and espeak "Hello World" did not play a sound and outputted

Are these problems related?
I am not asking for a step by step tutorial to solve these problems. I am just stuck on where to start to troubleshoot them.
