Falcon030 audio: Is there a definitive test program?

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?

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:

I'm getting YM audio. Maybe the DMA audio is iffy.

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

All good. Just old machine paranoia. :-)
