No, but two utilities that can help debugging are amixer and
speaker-test. amixer is deprecated for configuring the card, but you
can use it to dump out the current setttings in a visually unambiguous
way. speaker-test is just nice for testing sound because you don't
have to keep a file around. It will just give you some tones to listen
for.

I would start by looking at the output of `amixer' so that you're
confident the controls are setup correctly. More than one user
(including me) has failed to setup the device correctly through
`alsamixer'. I plan to put this info into the book at some time.
