Two GUI apps I have found useful in troubleshooting audio are:
gstreamer-properties
gnome-volume-control.pulse
Besides that, find your audio devices with 'aplay -l' and/or 'aplay -L',
then try playing to all of those devices like this:
aplay -Dhw1,0 somefile.wav
Note that aplay is picky about file formats. If I recall, flac files
won't play. I use wav files and have generally been successful.
Good luck!
