Is there a definitive test program which will test all the audio output on a Falcon030?
I'm not sure my machine is fully operational. For example the Sound CPX doesn't ding if I double click upon the man with the headphones. LlamaZap has no sound, which is impossible for a Jeff Minter game.
Any ideas?

Falcon030 audio: Is there a definitive test program?
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

If you're not getting ym sound, you can at least try the diagnostic cart.
I killed the YM chip in my falcon in the 90s just by plugging in the audio jack with the power on :roll:

OK, it might be alright. I've found a demo and that works fine.

Thanks!
All good. Just old machine paranoia. :-)
