Audacity has a tone generator...you could make your own test CD...
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

And this might be of some help also...

Here are a couple I made to calibrate mine.

Be sure to keep your speaker volume very low.

EDIT:

Sorry they are too big to attach

Audacity will work fine... that's what I used.  You can also just record some radio fuzz (off channel), and just max it out.  The big thing for the test tone in that case is that it be a full range signal at a constant level.  If you want I could just e-mail an mpe of pink noise for you.  PM me if you want it.

The "Try It" version of Adobe Audition(CEP) will do this as well. It also opens and saves .wavs up to 4GB, a neat trick.
