Abstract

An audio test cable includes three types of audio input and output (I/O) ports. The input port and the output port in each type of audio I/O ports form a short circuit for carrying a loopback test for a motherboard. The audio test cable also includes a test audio jack which connects to the output port of all types of audio I/O ports for carrying out an audio-quality test for the motherboard.
