    Personally I use the command line:

    List your sound card(s)

    aplay -L

    Test your speakers:

    speaker-test -Dplug:surround51 -c6 -l1 -twav

    You may also specify a speaker 

    speaker-test -s left-front -twav

    See also

    You can also test your speakers from the mixer (mixer varies with window manager)

    In 12.04 use the "Test Sound" button
