Basic check of sound hardware?



My MOBO has got the 3 sockets for sound, which I understand are:
left out, mic in, right out.

So just to confirm that the hardware is OK, what's the basic CLI command to:
=> input from mic-socket to a file;
=> output the same file to left/right out ?

Or does the mic-signal need to be amplified?

I think I've got some <sound files> somewhere, and remember that /dev/dsp
is involved ?

== TIA
