troller and audio controller can exchange signals on
that second DMA channel

The last three Audio subtests are interactive. In both the
FM Sound Playback Test and the Analog Sound Play-
back 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

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 sec-
onds to speak your name.
When prompted again, hit any key on the built-in key-
board 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
