Is the sound actually playing?

There are many reasons why the sound is not working (speakers not muted, volume turned off, level set to zero, software configuration problems, etc.)

How can I know from my program if the sound is working and audible?

The only way to reliably do this pretty much is to ask the user:

play sound;
if (user_hears_sound_dialog)
  sound works;


Edit: Please don't do an unannounced sound test killing users' ears, potentially blowing out its speakers and causing it to kill the app. It's just not nice, look!

Of course, only the user can decide if the sound works.



Programmatically, I believe that with only micro-sound you could trace sounds.

The screen will display two buttons.

Place a note under the buttons: "Press the right button".

At the same time, play this audio message: "Please ignore the text of the note on the screen and press the left button."

Wait while the button is pressed.
