Re: Simple sound system testing, is there a utulity to do this?

I want to see if the sound is working OK on my system, is there
anything in ubuntu (well, xubuntu actually) that provides something like
Window's Control Panel "Sounds and Audio Devices" where you can test
and change the various system sounds as well as configure things?


The easiest method is perhaps to go to Preferences->Sound and try out
various test buttons and see if you can hears the sounds. You should
also try:
1. Play a movie file.
2. Play a DVD or CD.
3. Play a flash movie in a website.

If all these work, you should be good to do.



Next, if you are pulseaudio, then I guess Pulseaudio Device manager
should do the trick.

But if you are using alsa, you can list the devices using 'aplay -L' and
'aplay -l' commands in a terminal. This will list the devices as cards.

Next, to configure their controls, you can use 'alsamixer' command to
set the levels. 'alsamixer -c n' will allow you to set the levels of
card number n.

If there is another GUI method to do all this, I would be interested too.
