• FM Sound Playback Test Tests whether the system can synthesize sounds and play them through the built-in speaker(s) • Analog Sound Playback Test Tests whether the system can play sampled sounds through the built-in speaker(s) • Record and Playback Test Checks the ability of the audio controller to generate a sampled sound from signals received from the built-in microphone The last three Audio subtests are interactive. In both the FM Sound Playback Test and the Analog Sound Playback test, a series of musical tones is played through the computer's built-in speaker(s). A message on the display asks if you hear the tones. Type y if you hear the tones; otherwise, type n. The third interactive test, the Record and Playback Test, checks the computer's built-in microphone and speaker(s). When prompted, press any key on the built-in keyboard and say your name in a normal tone of voice. NOTE: After you press the key, you have only a few seconds to speak your name. When prompted again, hit any key on the built-in keyboard to play back your voice through the built-in speaker(s). Type y if you hear your voice; otherwise, type n. If you press n, you are given another opportunity to run the Record and Playback Test. When prompted, type y if you want to try the test again (for instance, if you did not speak quickly enough after pressing a key to begin the test). Otherwise, press n. 4-20 Dell Inspiron 3000 Reference and Troubleshooting Guide
