Wave Test (System)
This test validates that an audio device and driver within a system meet the basic requirements for capture and playback of pulse code modulation (PCM) data.
The test exercises simple combinations of capture and playback of PCM data by using the kernel-streaming (KS) interfaces.
This is a system-specific implementation of an existing test. For more information on this test, see Wave Test - Certification.
