The Audio Confidence test prompts you to execute the audio test in one of two ways: input mode or output mode. Input mode requires user interaction. You must speak into the microphone. The test displays the audio control panel. The panel controls the volume for input and output. Output mode plays a prerecorded message. The message indicates that if you have heard the information in the prerecorded message, the test was passed. If you do not hear the prerecorded message, the test was failed.

The test does not display a “passed” or “failed” message when it is complete. You determine the results of the test by monitoring the test itself. If the test did not record any information, try adjusting the input values on the audio control panel, or try another microphone. If these measures do not help, the problem might be related to a faulty audio board.

For additional information on the audio control panel, see the apanel(1) man page. For additional questions or assistance, contact your system administrator or your local support provider.
